About Us
A Personal Note from Bob
Thanks again for visiting us online. While most of these pages have my name on them, the ministry has always been ours--Jan and I have shared 40+ years of ministry and are still counting.
NOTE: In summer 2010, we concluded our full-time work with the local church. This decision has allowed us to expand our ministry in church consulting, seminars and workshops, evangelistic series and missions!
We are scheduling for 2012 and beyond! Please contact us if you would like to schedule a seminar or special series.
Hard to believe! Where did the time go? Beginning in 1968, for 42 years I preached almost every Sunday. We continue to serve in a limited ministry role with the Main and Oklahoma congregation in McAlester, Oklahoma, but we spend most of our time in ministry and mission work away from the local church as we travel and minister in various places around the world.
I am so blessed! I am able to continue my ministry of research, writing, teaching, church consulting, and conducting seminars in leadership, ministry, small groups, small churches, and team-building. I have time to research and write about the dynamics and goals of interim ministry. I have time to be involved in mission work, primarily in Latin America, leading mission trips and participating in campaigns, workshops, preacher training, and teaching activities. The local church still provides a wonderful laboratory to test concepts in small groups and and leadership development. Along the way, I serve as adjunct professor when teaching opportunities come, and answer invitations to speak and help other churches.
Growing up in Kansas, Jan and I had no idea that God would take us around the world (literally) as kingdom servants. We have been privileged to preach, teach, and work in over half of the United States and a dozen countries.

A Little of Our Story
Bob served as Professor of Bible and Ministry and Director of the Bible program at Ohio Valley College, now Ohio Valley University from 1995-2002. During his time at OVU he also served as Dean of Service Learning. From 1999-2001 he served as Executive Vice President, and from 2001-2002 as Senior Vice President for Administrative Services. In 2002 we resigned our work at OVU to return to the center of the US to be closer to aging parents.
Prior to his work at OVU, Bob served as a full-time minister for 25 years, primarily with the Holmes Road Church of Christ in Lansing, Michigan (1976-1987) and with the Fort Gibson Church of Christ in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma (1987-1995). While at Ohio Valley, he had the privilege of preaching in more than 150 churches. His interest in interim ministry began during this time as he served in various interim roles for local congregations.
When Bob and Jan moved back to the center of the US to be nearer aging parents, Bob served as pulpit minister for the Main and Oklahoma Church of Christ in McAlester, Oklahoma for two years. He served as director of graduate Bible programs in the Graduate School of Theology at Oklahoma Christian University in Oklahoma City for almost four years. In 2007, he and Jan accepted an invitation to return to McAlester to minister with the Main and Oklahoma church in a second tenure.
In 2010, Bob concluded his role as pulpit minister with the church in order to expand his work in ministry and missions.
