BIO
Gary grew up on the beach in Southern California. An all-star baseball and soccer player, he has always been highly active and driven to be his best, no matter what he put his heart into. In high school surfing became his passion. His pursuit of the perfect wave lead him to Hawaii. It was there while seeking God’s will for his life that Gary felt a deep calling to pursue the ministry and make a difference in people’s lives through following Jesus and teaching His gospel. After graduating from Hope International University, at the young age of 26, Gary became the lead Pastor of a small church in Menifee California called Revival Christian Fellowship. Under Gary’s 18 year leadership, the church grew from 60 people to over 6,000. Now Gary is taking his gifts of teaching, exhortation and evangelism on the road. His main focus is helping people grow to become all God created them to be, and to reach out to the people of Indonesia. Gary resides in Southern California and has two daughters Lindsey and Sidney.
