He has conferred with Mother Teresa, has worked in Sudan during the height of its catastrophic civil war, began reconstruction after the devastating tsunami hit near his home in Thailand, was interrogated by secret police in Cuba, and was part of a team that started the first Christian church in northern India.

The organization seeks to discover, encourage, and equip an emerging group of Kingdom entrepreneurs intent on demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ in word and deed. ServLife’s work is to care and rescue children who at risk, end hunger, and train/multiply the church around the globe.
