PERSONAL
Who am I?
For many people, the most challenging thing to write might well be a self-description. How does one write objectively about the inner self when virtually by definition the author is biased and the true self only God fully knows?
In this instance, perhaps the simplest way to start is to present a few personal things about myself: where I live, core beliefs, my personal status, and some of my favorite things and people. From those, one might glean insights into my personality and character. But the best way would come by getting to know me personally. I invite you to do just that; it would be my honor.
Where is Home?
At present I am based in Chicago, Illinois, USA, but my business and residential relocation to British Columbia, Canada, is pending as The Lord prepares and opens the way. In anticipation of this transition, I am currently restructuring my business operations and personal affairs.
“Je suis un homme du Nord” (“I am a man of the North”) has been a personal motto since my early adventures and experiences canoeing and backpacking in the great Canadian wilderness. I hold a deep and abiding respect for the people and country of Canada where soon I will make my home. I eagerly look forward to participating in the great revival The Lord is releasing even now across Canada, making it the True North, strong and free.
What are My Beliefs?
As a born-again and Spirit-filled Christian since graduate school, I serve the One and True God, Who is Three in One, One in Three: Father, Son and Holy Ghost. He is Holy, eternal, righteous and altogether good. By His passion, death on the cross, and resurrection, Jesus reconciled us to the Father, and made available to us the only way to be saved. His Kingdom is without end, where there is fulness of joy and pleasures at His Right Hand forevermore.
I unashamedly believe in the Person and power of The Holy Ghost, in His gifts and fruit, and in the need for His presence in my life and in all my actions. I pray in the Spirit and with understanding, and I do operate in a prophetic calling to the nations and to business leaders.
