Guest Bio
Pat had the privilege of being raised in a Christian home. He heard the gospel at Reinhardt Bible Church in Dallas and believed in Christ as a child. He went to Wheaton, majoring in history, and studied missions at Dallas Theological Seminary, and then Islamics at Hartford Seminary. He took a gap year between college and seminary and took a trip around the world, and God called him to reach Muslims. Pat and MaryAnn married after Dallas, and they have three daughters and seven grandkids. They served in Iran for four years, mobilized for Christar for another five years, and then served for five years in the Middle East. They also served in the Christar mobilization center for 16 years. He continues to minister locally in reaching least-reached people in his community, mentoring others to reach out as well, and he travels to other countries to train believers to bring the great news of Christ to the nations.
