Alan planted a college ministry from 0 to 60 members during his first few years in ministry. He also developed skills in vision casting and core leadership making during that time.
We have seen 2,500 students in San Diego make faith decisions to follow Jesus over the last 8 years through our campus ministries. Alan has served on national evangelism and planting teams and loves sharing the Gospel for this generation.
