I am a pastor and connector to equip the church into reconciliation work. I am passionate about training, equipping and connecting the body of Christ to live out the reconciling work of Christ with our neighbors on the margins through a concept called dignified interdependent relationships from the deeply transformative training, Dignity Serves. I am a farm boy from Bumpville, PA, hold a Biblical Studies degree from Liberty University and a Masters of Intercultural Ministries degree from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary. I have over fifteen years of ministry experience in cross-cultural and socio-economic ministry contexts. I speak and write on topics such as; a holistic gospel, poverty, dignified interdependent relationships, racial-conciliaiton, and the spiritual formation of serving those in need. Most importantly, I am a child of Christ and am married to my amazing wife, Adrienne of thirteen years. We have four amazing children together. I blog at; https://reconciliationthinking.wordpress.com and http://www.aboyfrombumpville.comI facilitate the training Dignity Serves with churches and ministries all over the nation: http://dignityserves.org I have developed the idea of "Loving Freely", which you can read about here: https://reconciliationthinking.wordpress.com/2018/01/05/loving-freely/It was developed out of the content I presented last year for Desire Street Ministries on "The Underbelly of Service"; https://vimeo.com/219781733If any of these trainings seem relevant to you, let me know!
