His heart’s desire to teach God’s Word and serve extends to at least the following target groups:

  1. to train young people for a meaningful life of ministry and service to the Lord;
  2. to train local church support staff and church members how to better use their God-given grace-gifts so that a much higher percentage of local church members will actively use their God-given grace-gift(s) in the church and in their daily lives and more will become true disciple makers; 
  3. to train pastors and ministry leaders from Third World countries who have limited training opportunities in their own countries how to understand God’s Word and God’s mission and how to be effective in ministry for the Lord.
