Build a beautiful but functional campus – I actually served as the General Contractor over three of the four building projects. Developed a large, unified staff. Developed an extensive outreach with the poor, including a weeklong summer camp for kids from the projects. We were known as a church that cared for the poor. We sent out five church plants from the Augusta Vineyard. For us, It's all about relationship. Show less

We had five church plants and one adoption into the Vineyard representing just short of 1000 people. We developed a pipeline of church planters. The success of our approach had led the National Vineyard Mission Task Force to use Ukraine as a model for all of Eastern Europe. Our forth child was adopted out of Ukraine at the age of 16.

Southeast Usa

Built a team that recruited, assessed, trained, deployed and nurtured church planters in the seven states of the southeast US. Had much interaction with Pastors both inside and outside the Vineyard. The current SE Region Church Planting Coordinator told me that I helped with 80 church Plants. I think that’s exaggerated but we still had quite a number of new plants during my tenure.

As the Area Pastoral Coordinator I was responsible for the oversight of South Carolina, North Carolina and part of GA. I trained and nurtured Vineyard Pastors and leaders and dealt with Pastors and church leadership concerning issues in their churches.

Taught and trained Cuban Pastors, leaders and church planters. I recruited and deployed ministry teams from the Augusta Vineyard.
