In 1987 God called Kirk to walk with pastors and Christian influencers as a catalytic change agent. He equips, coaches, and mentors pastors to be effective, influential leaders by focusing on their character. He works with congregations and their leaders to regularly, generously, and unconditionally demonstrate the Gospel to those outside the Church. The result is authentic, vulnerable, God-needy leaders who influence their congregations to live like missionaries wherever they are. Kirk has worked with ministers in the following Christian denominations: American Baptist, Anglican, Anglican Catholic, Atlantic Baptist, Cavalry Chapel, Christian Church, Christian & Missionary Alliance, Christian Reformed, Church of God (Anderson, In), Church of God (Cleveland, TN), Episcopal, Evangelical Free, Evangelical Lutheran, Evangelical Presbyterian, Foursquare, Free Methodist, Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, Nazarene, North American Baptist, Open Bible, Pentecostal Holiness, Presbyterian Church in America, Presbyterian Church USA, Reformed Church in America, Seventh Day Adventist, Southern Baptist, United Methodist, Vineyard, Wesleyan, and dozens of independent churches.A Christ-follower for more than forty years, Kirk ministers from a life experience replete with sorrows and surprises. He holds an M. Div. from Fuller Theological Seminary, an MBA from Harvard University, and a B.S. from Purdue University. Kirk's been serving on the refocusing Team of Novo Mission (formerly Church Resource Ministries) since 2000. Annie received her Doctorate in Psychology in 2010 and has a private psychology practice specializing in Emotional Transformational Therapy (ETT). She and Kirk have been married for forty mostly glorious years. They have six adult children.
