This page is dedicated to those who have impacted and influenced us in positive ways in both our understanding of Christ, His Kingdom, His purpose for our lives, as well as motivating us to continue to pursue Him.  These are people, congregations, books and websites we are grateful for.  (This is, hopefully, a growing list…and there’s likely some that we have forgotten to mention.  Hopefully this gives you a feel for who we are and where we’re coming from.)
