Legacy is all about casting a shadow that continues to influence lives long after we’re gone. I have been blessed over the years by godly men and women whose lives have had a huge impact on my own. Born into a Christian home in Illinois, I trusted Christ as my Saviour at an early age. Soon afterward, our family moved to the French Canadian province of Quebec to serve as missionaries there. At the age of 17 I dedicated my life to the Lord at a Word of Life Snow Camp and then attended the Bible Institute in Schroon Lake where a flame was lit for the Lord’s service that has never died out. Returning to Quebec, the Lord blessed me with a godly wife, three children, and exciting years of service in youth ministry and local church leadership which led to the opening of the first French Word of Life Bible Institute in 1994! Laurie and I never imagined that the Lord would lead us back to WOLBI where so much of the foundation of our lives
was laid so many years ago. Our first year has been a humbling and fulfilling adventure! We are I excited about what lies ahead as we continue to hold forth the Word of Life. God has burdened our hearts with a desire to see the Bible Institute continue to expand its reach in North America and around the world. Dear friend, what kind of legacy will you leave behind? Don’t waste your life by living for yourself! Instead, cast a long shadow of godliness that will impact the lives of others - forever! ^Hebrews 13:7 | WORD OF LIFE BIBLE INSTITUTE LIBRARY
