Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When are you moving to Africa?
A: We have no plans to move to Africa. Living remotely from the workers in Chad enforces the empowerment strategy we employ. If I lived there, undoubtedly unwanted dependencies on “the Westerner” would result.

Q: How will you perform ministry in Chad from the U.S.?
A: I will make frequent trips to Chad and stay in constant contact with my immediate disciples and leaders. I will lead small groups comprised of Americans on 10 day trips to serve as “strike forces” to launch specific initiatives as national leaders call for them. Typical activities will be evangelism through sports, medicine and one-on-one witnessing; we will also do discipleship training (classroom and informal).

Q: What will your primary activity be while in the States?
A: I will mostly be working to mobilize resources (human, technological, expertise, finances) that God has placed in the hands of Americans to be used to meet strategic needs for the church planting movement(s) in Chad. I also will be communicating via internet and phone frequently with the “ground troops” in Chad.
