I learned how to walk in a car dealership. At age 32, I was given a franchise in Winston-Salem, NC perceived as having no value – Jeep. I was one of the youngest franchised dealers in the country. In less than 2 years, I was the largest volume Jeep dealer in the Carolinas.
Eight years later, the pursuit of worldly gain left me spiritually depleted. In 1994, with auto sales at the highest level in our nation's history, I sold my franchise and walked away.
I enrolled in Piedmont Bible College to study evangelism. During some "on-the-job" training, I caught a vision that within a few months enabled me to witness over 65 decisions for Jesus by applying the simple steps outlined in this book. Since then, I have shared my faith one-on-one with, if I had to guess, over 5,000 people.
Today, I have a new vision. That vision is to better equip the Body of Christ to be practical, passionate soul winners!
