One year he was even awarded Teacher of the Year.  It was during this time that he also taught at ELITE Leadership Bible Institute, an eighteen-month ministry and discipleship training school. He has taught and created the curriculum for eight Bible courses ranging from 18 to 27 hours in course content and instruction. In 2015 he authored and published “Ascending the Mountain of God”, a book written for believers hungry for a greater measure of God’s presence in their life.
