    "I have known AB for over 40 years. In fact we were on staff together at Second Presbyterian Church. I consider him to be a dear friend, and creative church planter with a history of successfully planting a successful church from scratch. His enthusiasm, love for the area around Cancun Mexico and decades of experience and building relationships in that area has already led to significant ministry opportunities that will be felt throughout that region of Mexico and by God’s grace, beyond. I hope that you will join Susan and me in supporting AB and Great Commission Coaching."
