Bob now travels extensively, teaching in Bible schools, at ministers’ conferences, and in churches. Known as an excellent expository Bible teacher, Bob is focused on training up a new generation in the Word of God: “Just as I began my ministry teaching in a Bible school, I have now returned to complete the vision by helping to raise up a new generation of ministers, especially those called to pastor.” For this reason, he is often called a “pastor to pastors.”

While his profession is in the field of healthcare and medicine, Charles has been an enthusiastic supporter of AWM for decades. He and his wife, Pam, have four children. “I met Andrew and Jamie in 1988. Prior to meeting them, my religious life was focused on the Baptist denomination in which I was a deacon. After attending my wife’s church and meeting Andrew, I became spirit-filled and addicted to the Word teaching he presented. “We began supporting his ministry over twenty-two years ago and helped put him on a local radio station in Shreveport twenty years ago. We have known Andrew and Jamie from their early years in ministry, when they were just on a few radio stations, and now they are seen by millions on worldwide television. My wife and I have been blessed to have had a close personal relationship with him and Jamie through the years.”

Dean and his wife, Carol, have been married for over fifty years, with three children and two grandchildren. “We met years ago while ministering at a conference together. My wife, Carol, and I immediately gained so much respect for both Andrew and Jamie. We met up again at the coordination of Paul and Patsy Milligan, another divine connection. “Serving with this ministry of big vision, spirit direction, and impeccable integrity is a distinct honor and unprecedented favor. “The friendship, the teaching, and the love and impartation to our entire family comes in supernatural abundance.”
