A little bit about me. I was the founding director of Intercultural Ministries at Boston’s Emmanuel Gospel Center. I work with leaders from many cultural groups doing applied research, training, consulting, networking and collaborative outreach. Prior to joining the staff of EGC in 2001, I served as a church planter/pastor of a multicultural church in Boston and as a diaspora ministry & missions pastor. I earned my DMin in Urban / Diaspora Ministry from Gordon-Conwell Seminary in 2001. Raised in Kansas, I graduated from Evangel University and the Assemblies of God Seminary in Missouri. My wife, Rita, and I live in the Boston area, have three adult children, and currently host two international students from China in our home.
