numerous festivals, seminaries and professional
training schools since 1983. He was the Drama

Bob's ministry exists to exalt Jesus Christ as Savior, pointing people to

sound music with a passionate commitment to genuine worship and

of ministering only when Jesus Christ is honored and glorified."
