Background and Focus:
I am a semi-retired minister of the
Gospel having served in ministry as a Gospel Preacher/Evangelist,
Family Christian Counselor, Hospital Chaplain and Foreign
Missionary.
It
is my continued purpose to share and encourage people I come in contact with
to consider God our Heavenly Father, Jesus the Son of God and the
Holy Spirit. Over the years I have written and
gathered resources to help in my understanding of the scriptures,
“The Abiding Word of God”. For my notes see:
The Abiding
Word
I hold a Masters Degree in Christian
Counseling, a Bachelors Degree in Bible/Ministry, Certification as
Nouthetic Biblical Counselor, Clinical Pastoral Education
Certification as Hospital Chaplain, and over 45 years in ministry
including over 15 years as Chaplain at Albany Memorial Hospital. Also in my early years I have an Associates Degree in
Management Engineering, training with work experience as
Electrical-Mechanical Machine Designer and self-employed experience
in residential electrical-mechanical installation. In my later
years I ran my own web design and computer service business called
Veren Services. Perhaps
you could say I am a
"Jack of All Trades, Master of None".
