I've been impressed by the Apostle Paul's description of himself as a servant of Jesus Christ. That is my desire as well. For me, that sums up all that God sent His Son to accomplish. You see, in order to serve someone, that person whom you serve must be alive. So people may say they follow the teaching of..(Put any dead religious leader's name here) as a believer in Christ we have a relationship with Him. He's alive! My teaching style hopefully mirrors my walk with Him. I want students to enter into a relational experience with what is being taught and not just receiving facts. Facts are important but then what we do with them determines whether I've accomplished true teaching. I have a bachelor's degree from Cornerstone University. I've also taken apprenticeship courses for Tool & Die. Throughout my working career as a diemaker, tool room foreman, engineering manager, plant manager, or business owner, I've incorperated a teaching spirit throughout. My wife Ruth and I began attending Magnify Church in 1992. We have served in preschool ministries since then. Before that, since our marriage in 1974, we've served in other churches. Ruth lead nursery ministries and I have taught senior high and adult classes as well as serving on the deacon board. After reflecting on my life, teaching has been in just about everything I've done. I remember what my dad taught me. He said: "Son, you never stop learning. The moment you think you know it all, you're finished." Good advice to which I would add: "You can learn from anybody."
