About Me

My name is Dale, I've recently married a wonderful godly woman named Andrea after being widowed in 2003. Andrea truly is a gift from God to me. I have a 24 year old son who has finished Bible college and is currently working in TN. Preparation and calling have now met opportunity and he has been asked to become part of the staff of "Overtoun House Center for Hope and Healing" in Dumbarton, Scotland. After high school I worked for G.M. for 4 years before going to Bible College (Elim Bible Institute), went back to work for G.M., worked bi-vocationaly in various ministry situations and now I'm a licensed minister and singer and a retired auto-worker. From May of 2007 to April of 2008 I was volunteering in upstate NY as the coordinator for Elim Fellowships "Adopt-a-Church Program", Care Pastor for the Home Missionary program and also worked with church growth and on purpose evangelism stratagies. On 5/10/08 I have moved back to my home town - Davison MI, near Flint, on 7-17-09 I purchased a home in Holly, MI and moved in the middle of August. Andrea and I are pastoring House of Prayer in Grand Blanc, MI. I am continuing my theological studies with I.S.O.M. (International School of Ministries), I love to sing, I love to laugh, I really enjoy being with friends (I'm usually available to get together for good clean fun), in most circumstances I'm real easy going (I've been called a gentle giant), but the things I'm passionate about I'm very passionate about (i.e.- my walk with God, ministry, justice/mercy, family etc.) Those who know me consider me one of the good guys. P.S. The profile pic, me - a Bible - a pulpit - and a microphone is from the 90's but it's my fav, I call it my "Preach'in Picture". I was smaller then, but with diet and BowFlex's help I am actively working on getting healthy again. Myspace Graphics

This video was made last summer (Aug. 2007) during our work missions trip to Overtoun House in Dumbarton, Scotland ( www.overtounhouse.com ). About mid-way through a "larger than now" version of me is leading the chorus; "The Steadfast Love of the Lord Never Ceases", it was early and my voice wasn't warmed up but I did my best. Enjoy and God Bless, Dale

Hey there! Back in 1989 or 90 I was part of the Christ Church Choir and we were asked to sing with Dolly on the Country Music Awards and the Dove Awards. On this video (CMA's) as the curtain opens I am behind Dolly and to the right. There wasn't a dry eye in the house then and I hope it blesses you too. Blessings, Dale Ps. 29:11

Keith & Megann are sing'in what's in my heart. Megann was in the kids group at Christ Church when my late wife and were teaching kids there. She and her folks lived down the hill from us too; so she and Jon (my son) were sometimes playmates at church and in the nieghborhood too.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I like people...and get along with most of them. Of course I would be most drawn to those of similar faith, passion, and calling.I would also like to share the best news ever with anyone who wants to hear (or read). God loves you! And he has provided an opportunity to walk in fellowship with Him for your time here on earth and eternal life for you after this life. Because He is God (and we aren't) these things will always be on His terms, but thats a good thing, He desires for us a rich abundant life in Him, He wants us saved and in fellowship with Him more than we do! His word says that eternal life is a free gift from His hand, we can't earn it or deserve it, it is a gift. We have a problem, we face the wrath of God, we have grieviously offended God and damaged our relationship with Him, this problem is called sin - and we are sinners, and we don't have it in us to be good enough to earn God's favor...we have a problem. God, however doesn't have a problem, He made a way for us to come back into the fellowship with Him that we were created for. He (God) sent His Son - The Lord Jesus Christ- the Lord and King of the universe - the infinite God-man, fully God and fully man, to take our sin and selfishness on Himself. He then allowed Himself to be crucified in our place satisfying all the demands of justice and mercy, our sin debt (the wages of sin is death) was paid by Him. We recieve this eternal life and relationship with God by faith, that is, putting our complete trust and confidence in the work that Christ has completed for us, repenting of our sin, and giving ourselves over to His Lordship. What a deal! He made a way for us to exchange our not-so-abundant - not so-eternal life for eternal life and the opportunity to know and walk with Him in this life, we become His, again, what a deal! Once that exchange takes place and we begin our walk with Him we do the things that it takes to grow in that relationship, we embrace His disciplines, we learn to talk with Him - and listen to Him, we learn to be worshipers, we fellowship with others of like faith, we learn about Him by His book - the Bible,we learn to live this life in light of our eternal life, and we share this good news with our fellowman. All of these things we do, not to earn God's favor, but because we have already recieved it freely and we love and appreciate Him for it. God is Good...in fact He's THE BEST! This is the Good News I want to share with you. Blessings, Dale
