Public speaking and writing remained an active engagement in his variety of professional work. Multiple publications were produced including A DIALOGUE WITH GOD. Most notable is the founding and leadership of Faithwalkers Men’s Ministry, a Bible Study program reaching a 50 mile radius of attendees.
