Chris accepted the Lord’s full-time call to ministry in 1974 and was joined by his wife, Faith, four years later when they married. They have a daughter and two grandsons. Chris has a Master of Divinity and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in preaching and Biblical backgrounds from Southwestern Baptist Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. Chris also has a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado. Faith has a Bachelor of Science degree from Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

Chris spent 4 years during his studies toward a Master of Divinity serving in local churches in youth and teaching ministries. Following this time, Chris and Faith began 28 years of serving 5 churches as senior pastor or church planter. All 5 of these churches grew significantly. Of note is that they planted a church in Toronto, Ontario, made up of people from seventeen countries and five continents.

Following pastoral ministry, Chris and Faith began missionary work, teaching at seminaries, Bible colleges, and churches in sixteen countries including Russia and China. They resided in five countries, primarily in Asia. During this time, they wrote several books and piloted the antidote course which is now offered through Antidote Ministries. The Antidote won the Bronze Medal from Illumination, a consortium of international Christian publishers in 2020. The course that goes with Chris’ books has made a noticeable, positive impact on conflict problems wherever it has been taught. After serving for many years as full-time missionaries, Chris and Faith have dedicated themselves primarily to teaching The Antidote at churches, seminaries and wherever conflict problems have erupted that can be addressed by the principles within the antidote course.

Today, Chris and Faith’s ministry consists primarily of teaching the Antidote and piloting a new Antidote offering: Understanding Christian Marriage. This new course is based on the same principles within Chris’ books and will begin to be offered by Drs. Tunji and Shooter in the near future. It addresses conflict problems within marriage and families. In addition, Chris and Faith are assisting their colleagues at Antidote, Rev. Dr. Dong Chol Lee (Shooter) and Rev. Dr. Tunji Olasunkanmi by administering Antidote Ministries and helping Tunji and Shooter as they teach the Antidote course.
