I grew up as a missionary kid in southeast Asia. My parents were Protestant Bible teachers (although my mother was born a Catholic) most of their lives, and my father's passion was flying single-propeller planes off aircraft carriers and Soteriology (that is, the theology of Salvation, though he was self-taught in theology, and received unaccredited Bible training from Dawson Trotman and Dick Hillis, before the latter became a seminary professor). Then I taught English and music, and volunteered for the Protestant Church for nine years, all in the Peoples Republic of China. Now I work as a school bus driver and public school "AVID" tutor in the towns of Lewisville, The Colony and Flower Mound in Texas. I married Tryfina in 2002, but we still do not have children. I've started an online church and an online Esperanto-language prayer fellowship. I went to Dallas Bible College, Criswell College, also in Dallas, and my father's Bible school in Hong Kong, where I also taught music. My bachelor of arts degree from the University of North Texas is in general Music, with a minor in German Language and Literature. I still have not completed my masters degree, but have taken several courses in biblical Hebrew, a passion of mine. I'll let you know if my DNA results show whether I'm up to 20% Jewish or not, which would explain a lot, like my obsession for Israel.
