How it started:  Bob grew up in a Seventh Day Adventist Church in Iowa and spent his four high school years in an Adventist boarding school. He joined the Navy for four years and got away from the Lord doing his own thing for about the next 20 years. During that period he working in various accounting jobs until he won $12,000 playing Keno. He used the money to finish his accounting degree in 1972 and then passed his CPA exam. In 1980 he met Margie and came back to the Lord.

Personal Passion: Bob enjoys helping people practically and spiritually. In his CPA practice he found great pleasure his helping people with taxes and financial planning. As Bob matured prophetically "helping" gradually became doing what the Lord needed done. Bob developed a personal passion to see a spiritual awakening in the US. That spark was first kindled with a trip to the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola, Florida in 1995. He was personally impacted and became much closer to the Lord. It was in that same period that he read The Complete Wineskin by Harold Eberle which changed his concept of ministry and began to see the teaching gift in his own life.

Personal Benefit: Bob's servant heart led him to helping with children's ministries and later in teaching adult classes and working with Men's ministry. He's enjoyed be used by the Lord to organize city-wide men's ministries through Promise Keepers in Klamath Falls, Oregon.

Value to others:  People appreciate Bob's willingness to give himself toward the purpose of the Kingdom. After getting a burden to see a spiritual awakening in our nation, he took the practical step of running for a US Senate position and later ran in an election for state representative (losing by 35 votes). His motive - He wanted to see men of Godly character in office. He also organized 120 men to attend the national Promise Keepers event in Washington DC.

Business Potential (upside):  Bob's next "business" is a vision for a  children's ministry in Guatemala which his son Sean began 4 years ago. Through the support of their local church and Bob and Margie's personal financial commitment they have purchased land and are rebuilding the house to start a children's home (Hogar de Ninos La Gran Comision - Great Commission Children's Home). After unsuccessfully trying to borrow the funds to acquire the property, Bob and Margie realized that they had been giving only out of their surplus. Determined to give until it hurt they assembled the funds needed to complete the purchase of the property. Amazingly, the pain never came. They have continued to financially support the remodeling effort.

After visiting Guatemala in 2002 they felt the call move there after retirement. They have made three more visits and the call remains as stong or stronger. Bob retired from active practice in October 2005. They have since sold their home and vehicles and are disposing of most of their personal property in preparation for the move to Guatemala in June 2006.

Complexities, failures (downside):  Starting an orphanage requires a mountain of paperwork in Guatemala. Bob's son Sean and his wife Glendy have worked toward that goal for the last four years. Their vision is to work with children that are not necessarily candidates for adoption. Many orphanages work with very young children and raise their support by essentially functioning as an adoption agency. Sean has worked teaching ethics classes in private schools which are essentially Bible classes.

Vision for the Kingdom:  If Bob could write his own book it would be about the Kingdom of God; seeing its present reality instead of just the future potential. Jesus preached the gospel of the Kingdom and came with the goal of seeing His Kingdom established on earth the same way it is in heaven. Bob's vision is to see people rule and reign here on earth to see God's purposes prevail.

More specifically, Bob has established RSM Foundation, a 501(c)(3) private foundation, to support work of "The Great Commission Children's Home." His goal is to help that ministry have great spiritual effect on the children.

From a practical standpoint, after reading Releasing-Kings, he is also working to make it self-supporting through entrepreneurial ideas in Guatemala as well as through financial support to the foundation from the US. If you would like to assist in this ministry feel free to contact Bob.

Impact from Releasing Kings: Bob read Releasing Kings and saw the impact of people using spiritual gifts in the marketplace. He especially appreciated the distinction between those called to priestly or pastor ministries and those called to expand the Kingdom outside the church; the value of Kingly ministries.
