Ordination

Calling

In May of 1967, I surrendered to God's call to enter "full-time" Christian work with a clear leading to take training for service. At that time I moved back to Canada to attend seminary, believing that God would have me to go into Christian Service Brigade Boys work upon graduation. However, through the Spirit of God leading me to solve the problem of getting spiritual truth imparted into our children's character, God caused me to examine education. God led us to the clear-cut conviction of Christian education for our children which meant leaving Canada. In my last year of seminary, I received a call from Heritage Academy and accepted the position as Administrator. In response to God's further call, I came to Beth Haven Christian School in 1977. Then God led us to serve at Landmark Baptist Church & College in Haines City in 1980 where I served as President of Landmark Baptist College until December 31, 1996. I resigned from church staff at Landmark in April 1999.

Since April, 1999 my ministry has been serving; 1.) Landmark Baptist Church in the choir, ushering, and special projects as a lay person; 2.) Florida Council of Private Colleges, Inc.;
3.) Consultlee & Associates, Inc. consulting work; 4.) ministering to numerous senior citizens. with my wife Barbara, 5.) serving on boards and committees; 6.) staying politically involved in city, county, state, and federal governments and 7.) traveling to Tallahassee during sessions of the legislature each year to represent, pro-family, religious education, religious freedom, small business and local government issues.
