About

Travel to Connect? Yes, on Purpose! I love this and serve. | Been labeled a tent-maker of sorts, a #Fish4Peeps. Been called horrible at golf, a vertical motivator, a travel curator, a hospitality gentleman in the top one percent of luxury arena, and "Hey you Christian!"..while teaching at Prestonwood and Global Media Outreach.. but not necessarily in that order. For some decades Kurt enjoyed full-time pastoring/ministering in US and European local churches (in mega and smaller churches here as well as in the third world). Missionary and evangelistic outreaches have taken Kurt and his family to 28 nations. #GlobalMediaOutreach #Expedia . #RitzCarlton . Facebook.com/ShareJesus It's been said… “Kurt exemplifies the character qualities expected for a pastor as stated in the Pastoral Epistles and most specifically those in 1 Timothy 3:1 and following: ‘This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. A bishop then must be blameless...’ I was impressed with his strong desire to make his youth group at Calvary Chapel Dallas the best fed, most loved sheep in the world. His positive attitude, humility, and faith in God is infecting!” Pstr. Jeff Christianson, Calvary Chapel Bible College Murrieta Hot Springs “I have known Kurt and Liney for over fifteen years, and can attest to their total passion for the Lord and His Kingdom. He has a love for souls and an evangelistic fervor!” –Pastor John Dorrough, New Day Christian Fellowship “Kurt lives according to the Word of God and is an effective, on-fire Bible teacher. He loves the Lord, loves people and is a good example of the leadership qualities seen in First Timothy. We have had him speak multiple times and our people are better off because of it. We’d definitely have him back again!” Pstr. Mack Roller, Glen Meadows Baptist Church “With such diverse missions and soul-winning exposure, Kurt is acutely aware of the spiritual challenges facing the Church internationally. And God has shown him what works in resolving them in fulfilling Christ's Great Commission." Dale Witt, Exec. Dir. of Global Advance

    Authored a couple training books. Why? Well, because a great commitment to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission will make for a great church/believer. Have you discovered that second only to experiencing the blessing, the glorious fun, and great privilege of knowing / worshiping the Lord personally, is the JOY of making Christ know to others? You can.. starting today! http://bit.ly/d7sTWU It's for every Christian, the Bible says, “Jesus called out to them, ‘Come, be my disciples, and I will show you how to fish for people!’” (Matthew 4:19). He encouraged Simon saying, “Don't be afraid! From now on you'll be fishing for people!" (Luke 5:10). Well, with grace, accuracy and joy, Christ wants to use you in this worldwide endeavor as well!
