Let’s go deeper.
“Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls.” Psalm 42:7
Speaker, Bible teacher and author. For more than 40 years I have helped people take their next step with God, from church plants in Europe to Perspectives classrooms across America.
How do you know God is real?
I first wondered about God as a child on my parents’ farm in the Dominican Republic. In the evenings I lay in the grass and watched the sky fill with color, then with stars. One night I ran home and asked my mother, “Who created all this?” Her answer was simple: “God did.”
Years later, sitting in a dentist’s chair, I heard that this God knows me by name and came close to us in Jesus. Maybe you have looked up at the sky and asked the same question. You are not alone in wondering, and you don’t need to have it all figured out to start.

From a dentist chair to a lifetime adventure
More than 40 years ago I heard the Gospel for the first time and walked out wondering, “Is this for real?” It was. At 18 I became the youngest diplomat in the history of the Dominican Republic. Then God redirected my life. Gianni and I spent three decades as missionaries in Italy and Western Europe, planting churches and training others to go.
Today I teach the Bible, write, and speak in churches across the United States.
