“My greatest blessings worth talking about have been: Coming to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as a result of Charles Stanley’s Ministry, My Marriage, Children, Grandchildren, receiving my 2nd Masters Degree in Theology, being Ordained in 2001, and my service in the military from 1971 to 1977. Beyond that, the rest is insignificant.”


I do believe that God has raised up the Ministry of Financial Issues and is continuing to give me the recall from countless works in the world of business and finance so that I might minister to His people. I pray the He will continue to use us for His purposes. I am very proud of the staff that God has raised up in this ministry a group of men and women that are sold out committed to Christ contentedness and the work that He has put before us. Our goal is that we might all stand firmly in His obedience as we praise and give Him glory for all that we have and all the work He allows us to do. May we be found worthy to be as sons of Issachar.

At FISM we want to; Expose Jesus for all He is,  all He can do, and what He means.
