About Dr. Richard:
Dr. Richard was born again on January 14, 1988 and was miraculously set free from alcohol addiction. Through this experience, Christ began to transform him from being caught up in the ways of the world to serving Jesus Christ. Since he was born again he has been involved in leading Bible Studies & conferences, counseling, ministering, mentoring, etc. He also has experience working with recovering addicts as well as counseling & discipleship. Dr. Richard comes from both the “experiential” side of Christianity as well as having an educational background. It is this mix of struggling with his own character defects & carnal nature that have allowed the Holy Spirit’s work in his life as well as being educated at a Christian Bible Seminary. These two facets have brought a nice balance in his life. It is his sincere hope and prayer that individuals reach their full potential in Christ in this generation and the next.
Dr. Richard’s Testimony:
I grew up as a weekly “church-goer”. I was very proud of my church and yet I wasn’t sure if there was a God or not. My life came to its lowest point on December 30, 1987. I lost everything that mattered to me. On January 14, 1988, I received Jesus Christ into my heart as my Lord and Savior. I was “born again” by the Spirit of God. I spent many hours being discipled, mentored, and studying God’s Word. God began to gently convict me of many areas of sin in my life and I went through a deep process of sanctification, inner healing, and growth. God has led me through many areas of ministry to strengthen me and train me for His purposes. I have worked with alcohol/drug addicts, counseled, set up Christ-centered programs in counseling offices, led Bible Studies, taught at conferences, written Christian growth books, and put together many Biblical teachings for Christian growth, maturity, and ministry. God has used me in many ways and I know He will continue to. I have a vision to train and empower people to share the Gospel worldwide through Biblical English, inner healing, evangelism, missions, and discipleship.
Ministry Experience:
Dr. Richard has pastored a Filipino, a First Nations, a Korean English Service, and a Canadian Church. He was the Chairman of an English Ministry (South Korea) and an elder at a Nigerian Church (in Canada). He has worked at Bible Camps, volunteered with YWAM, volunteered at an orphanage, taught university (and all ages) ESL in Korea for 15 years, directed a Christian Recovery Center, and worked in a counseling center teaching-counseling-discipling-training individuals & groups. He has a heart for missions spending 15 years in South Korea as well as short term missions in India, Malaysia, the Philippines, USA, and Japan. He is the founder of this ministry and has also written books & teachings that can be found on this site.

What We Believe:
We are born-again, Bible-believing, interdenominational, evangelical Christians who believe that Jesus Christ is God and we rejoice in the central truths of Christianity as revealed in Scripture. We believe in the following truth:
-
The unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the Godhead
-
The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgment
-
The divine inspiration and entire trustworthiness of Holy Scripture, as originally given, and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct
-
The existence of a personal being called Satan, who is malicious and acts as a tempter and accuser of the brethren
-
The universal sinfulness and guilt of all men since the fall, rendering them subject to God's wrath and condemnation.
-
Redemption from the guilt, penalty, dominion and pollution of sin, solely through the sacrificial death (as our representative and substitute) of the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God
-
Christ’s pre-tribulation bodily return in the air to catch away His bride, the Church, and His return to earth to set up His millennial kingdom after the tribulation period
-
The Judgment Seat of Christ for all believers and the Great White Throne Judgment for all unbelievers
-
Bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead and his ascension to the right hand of God the Father
-
The presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the work of regeneration
-
Justification of the sinner by the grace of God through faith alone
-
Indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer
-
That God’s plan for this present age involves the evangelization of the world through the witness of every born-again believer in Jesus Christ and the establishing of local churches as a means of accomplishing His purpose
-
Loyalty to God, and to country and government
-
One holy universal Church which is the body of Christ and to which all true believers belong through the born again reality.
