I am married to an amazing lady, a father of four, and looking forward to being a grandfather soon. My wife, youngest daugther, and I recently moved to Ridgway, Colorado which is a great place to live.  Orginally I am from Seattle, WA and have lived in Hawaii, Los Angeles, Mazatlan Mexico and Phoenix.  I have traveled to many different countries.  I have been a Christ follower since 1973 and I am taken by the possibilities of developing alternative expressions of the church. I am a licensed and ordained minister. I have been a missionary since 1982 and I am the president/director of the mission organization called Alternative Missions.  I thank God for my life as a missionary and would recommend it highly.  I have lived and worked with amazing people and the adventure of a missions life has been incredible.  Let me know if I can help you on your journey towards a life in missions if that is what God has put in your heart.  Among many things I head up a mission think tank called The Innovative Mission Group.  One of the projects of The Innovative Mission Group is the development of a mission strategy called The Alternative Church. Please join our discussion at both The Innovative Mission Group and The Alternative Church in addition to this blog.  I am interested in participating in discussions related to what the future of the church might look like and how we as Christ followers can impact the world.  I look forward to hearing from you!
