About The Author and Speaker

       After becoming a Christian at age 15, I developed a tremendous passion to help people. It has been my privilege to do so through various methods and means. These have included one-to-one, public seminars, radio, television and print.

In addition to conducting Revival Crusades and Discipleship Seminars, I am also available to hold Fitness Seminars ( I am a Certified Master Fitness Trainer). If you would like information please contact me. 

My wife, Rebecca (who is also a gifted author and dynamic speaker), and I reside in Wilson, North Carolina. We are the extremely proud parents of two beautiful daughters and have been blessed with four marvelous grandchildren.

Who Am I?

A number of years ago, after speaking at the Central California Camp Meeting, I was approached by one of the leaders and asked, "Dan, will you tell me what you are?" At first it caught me off guard, and then I recalled that he had heard my testimony. I smiled, placed my arm around his shoulder and responded:

"My brother, first of all, I am a Christian, because the Bible says unless I am born again, I cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

Next, I am a Baptist Christian, because I believe the Bible teaches that after a person accepts Jesus as Personal Saviour, he or she should be baptized just as deep as possible and come up walking in newness of life and serving Christ as Lord.

Next, I am an Adventist Baptist Christian, because Adventists are looking forward to the soon return of Christ and my heart's cry is, "even so come quickly my Lord."

Next. I am a Lutheran Adventist Baptist Christian, because Martin Luther was used of God to bring about a revival of "the just shall live by faith," and I so much want the faith of Jesus to be my faith.

Next, I am a Methodist Lutheran Adventist Baptist Christian, because John Wesley taught a vibrant message of holiness and separation from the world and things of this world.

Next, I am a Pentecostal Methodist Lutheran Adventist Baptist Christian, because I sincerely believe that if the early Church needed the Baptism of God's Holy Spirit in the beginning, we need the same Baptism of God's Holy Spirit at the end-time.

Next, I am a Presbyterian Pentecostal Methodist Lutheran Adventist Baptist Christian, because I believe the Bible teaches that all things should be done "decently and in order" and there can be virtue in leadership.

Next, I am a Seventh-day Presbyterian Pentecostal Methodist Lutheran Adventist Baptist Christian, because I have discovered from a study of God's Word that the Seventh-day Sabbath was never abolished or negated by Christ or His early followers. Rather, it was changed later as an attempt to appease men.

Next, I am a Catholic Seventh-day Presbyterian Pentecostal Methodist Lutheran Adventist Baptist Christian, because the word "catholic" means "universal" and I'm just foolish enough to believe if it's good enough for me it's good enough for the whole world.

When I finished, the man looked at me with his lower jaw dropped and asked, "What are you again?" I went through it once more and when I finished he almost shouted, "That’s what I want to be! That’s what I want to be!"
