A graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Bob spent fourteen years serving Connecticut and New Jersey churches. For twelve years he served as an Executive Director of the Evangelical Free Church of America, promoting prayer and spiritual awakening.

Presently, he helps lead The Global Day of Prayer in the U.S. with past broadcasts that have covered the earth affording millions the opportunity to pray simultaneously. As one who honors the local pastorate as the highest calling, Bob uses his gifts as a preacher, teacher, networker and tactician for promoting, forging and cultivating prayer-based movements, domestically and

tionally, that lead to the transformation of people and places. His designs are to ensure that the local church -- and BBC in particular -- becomes the principle agency for the revival of the Church and the advancement of Christ's Kingdom today.

Kathy Tuntland had done journaling of sorts during her lifetime, even before she became a Christ follower. For a while, she would jot down thoughts and tidbits she encountered, and then she would stop for a while -- off and on -- until she started a serious relationship with Christ.

Nuggets, she discovered sadly, she would forget if she didn't write them down. More tured
