John is the Executive Director of the National Day of Prayer Task Force and an Executive Member of the National Prayer Committee. His 17 years in ministry spans a range of vast responsibilities including time as a missionary, youth pastor and service with Mission of Mercy, In Touch, Focus on the Family and the National Day of Prayer Task Force.

He has served at the United Nations in New York and with our congressional leaders in Washington D.C., as a representative for the National Day of Prayer. But his true joy is his wife and their five children who love the Lord. They reside in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Christian Community Credit Union is a financial institution that shares your values and puts your money to work building God's kingdom. When you place your funds with the Credit Union, you help support hundreds of churches and ministries.

Nonprofit Financial Solutions exists to empower nonprofit executives with financial information about their ministry so they can focus on their mission and not on running the accounting department. Many small and medium-sized organizations lack the internal resources to improve financial accountability, and often don't know where to turn for assistance. Additionally, it is becoming more difficult to appropriately resource the accounting function.

We provide high-level financial management services to nonprofits where and when it is needed. Opportunities can be short-term, such as an interim CFO position, or long-term, such as functioning as the permanent part-time accounting officer or internal auditor. Tell us your challenge and we will discuss with you how NFS may be able to help you overcome that challenge.
