Both my wife and I enjoy our callings and gifts. It feels like God designed us to do what we enjoy doing. For me that’s primarily teaching; for my wife, Barbara, she enjoys covering the students and I and the Muslim world in prayer during all the class hours. This past January I had the privilege of working with 17 students at Columbia International University (CIU) for eight hours a day, Monday through Friday.

John S. Piper, is admired by most evangelicals. He is the founder of www.desiringgod.org and he is the chancellor of Bethlehem College and Seminary in Minneapolis. Presbyterians are the ones who are usually associated with Calvin but not the Baptists. Some people refer to John Piper as a Calvinist Baptist author and preacher. His books include Spectacular Sins, What Jesus Demands from the World, Pierced by the Word, and God’s Passion for His Glory. His bestsellers include: Don’t Waste Your Life and Passion for Jesus Christ. His organization “Desiring God” is named for his famous book Desiring God: Meditating of a Christian Hedonist (1986).
