Ministry Passion

Dave's and Z's ministry calling since 2004, has been teaching Biblical principles of financial management. Hosea 4:6 states, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge ...” In our society, Christians receive almost no training about God's principles for finance, with disastrous results in marriages, stress, and personal finances. We believe we have been called to teach these principles for Godly financial peace to ten percent of the church body over the next five years so that members of the body may be fully freed to serve in missions or ministry and fulfill the great commission.

 

Most powerful book I’ve ever read (beside the Bible) and why

Josh McDowell's Evidence That Demands a Verdict, vols. I & II. Arguably, two of the finest apologetics volumes of the twentieth century. The skeptic is reduced to accepting the Bible as it is purported to be: the inspired Word of God; or to the much larger leap of faith of denying God's existence, and much of Middle Eastern history that has been independently confirmed through archaeological and other historical evidence. McDowell takes away the middle ground.
