“I have known Dean since his youth and had the privilege of seeing his spiritual growth and development. The call of God became apparent in his life as a young man and he pursued missions’ evangelism, traveling with people of profile such as David andBeth Grant.
Dean’s passion for the lost was then expressed through church planting and home missions in Michigan. Today there is a congregation in Kentwood, Michigan as a direct result of Dean’s leadership and the support of his wife Brenda. Dean pastored the Southeast people. Valley Assembly of God for over eleven years, giving pastoral leadership and imparting missions and evangelistic vision. He also served the Assemblies of God, Michigan District, as Presbyter and Secretary/ Treasurer.
Dean and Brenda are serving once again where their vision is still aflame for missions and evangelism. They are people of integrity and models of Christ’s love. I am happy to commend this couple for any venue of ministry related to missions and evangelism. They are quality people.
