About Me
At the least, looking for a warmly encouraging, Christ-centered penpal connection.

About Me
The Lord called me into pastoral ministry and I pastored for 30 years (most of the time no-vocational). I published a bestseller with my co-author, Dr. Gleason Archer with Moody publications in 1987 (the discovery Bible New Testament). For a hobby, I
play piano, guitar, swing dance/Lindy Hop, and ballroom dancing.

I am a vocational Bible teacher, focusing on communicating the Scriptures through the original Hebrew and Greek text.
Please briefly tell your testimony.
The Lord called me into ministry at an early age. I did preliminary training for the Catholic priesthood, and then went on to Trinity Evangelical Divinity school (Deerfield Illinois) after completing a degree in teaching/secondary education... what time to plant three churches and do some foreign missionary work.
I seek each day to love the Lord Jesus Christ with all my heart, soul, and strength.
What languages do you speak?

Devoted to the teaching leg of the great commission, training people how to better read the Scriptures for all they are worth, and supply training for those preparing for the teaching and preaching ministry

church or denominational preferences:
I regularly work across the entire evangelical spectrum.
:spiritual gifts:
Bible teaching, exhortation.

personality:
I grew up in show business. my father was a vaudevillian Dixieland banjoist, and my mother sister and brother also played in the family band which Helped me to become somewhat of an extrovert 🙂
I have a pronounced meditative/reflective side also.

I grew up on the southside of Chicago with blue-collar, Roman Catholic parents, a brother and a sister. My father was a musical entertainer and a general contractor.

On the hobby level, music is significant to me. Playing instruments (piano, guitar, banjo) and listening to worship music and other inspirational genres.

To stay in shape (keep my 69-year-old heart beating well 🙂, I try to energetically dance twice a week (swing dance, Lindy Hop, ballroom dancing).

I particularly like movies that combine heroism, courage, and love for life (forever young, open range, gladiator?on the humorous side, grumpy/grumpier old men.

Goal: Living a full life (John 10:10).
I am writing enthusiast; my calling has taken me to produce several thousand pages concerning devotional theology, as well as Hebrew and Greek reference matter for theological study.
What (or who) are some of your key influences?
My father engendered in me a deep appreciation for the ideals of life and that there is always more if we do things the right way.

Gleason Archer, famed Bible translator, was a mentor and role model to me for 26 years until he died in my arms in 2004.
Warren Wiersbe, Pastor at Moody Memorial Church, was a significant mentor, along with Clair Hutchins ( revivalist/Pastor), and Dr. Gleason archer professor at Trinity seminary (Deerfield Illinois) for over 30 years.
Other members of our HELPS faculty have also had a great influence on my life - like Grant Osborne (also from Trinity seminary and a lifelong friend).
I often think of the importance of
Living a full life, to experience God's love each day a little wider, longer, higher, and deeper (Ephesians 3:18-21).

My work: I founded HELPS/Discovery Bible ministries in 1976, which has operated uninterruptedly since then.

It is now been 40 years since helps/Discovery Bible ministries began in 1976. I have served as the president of this modest, but sincere team (about 10 volunteer staff, four of which are full-time).

Presently: Completing an online Bible college begun this year, along with finishing a Bible translation.
As an equipping ministry. Our work takes us to interfacing with multiple countries every day.

I seek for Devotion to prayer, Devotion to Bible study, Serving cheerfully, Discipling others, Influencing by teaching or by writing, Shepherding a community of believers

I am very thankful for two wonderful parents both of which have gone on to be with the Lord now. My older brother has also passed away, but thankfully I live next to my wonderful sister.

joyfully hoping to " Share the road with Christ with someone" That really makes both want to to serve the Lord better as a result.

In Christ,
Gary
