Paul knows what it takes to write a book about a faith community that walks in Grace and Truth. Growing up in a broken home, he understands the pain of broken relationships—and the necessity of a community to walk in grace, truth, love, acceptance, reconciliation, and forgiveness (all of which are modeled by various characters in “When Jesus Stole My Bread"). Before answering the call from God to move to Boulder, Colorado, Paul led a large, vibrant international church in Beijing, China. Every week, several thousand people from 70+ nations and a wide variety of Christian church backgrounds would gather for worship. Despite the many inherent differences in such a diverse group, under Paul’s leadership, this congregation enjoyed a unified culture of palpable grace and truth. A common comment from visitors was, "this must be what Heaven feels like." Paul currently lives in Boulder, Colorado. where he and his wife Patty are founding Belay (belaychurch.com). If you joined one of their gatherings in Boulder, you’d notice Paul and Patty's knack for gathering a diverse group. They often have several cultures and nations represented under their roof—people from Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, etc. A guest at a recent event was overheard saying, "In all my years in Boulder, I've never been around such a diverse group!" Married since 1993, Paul and Patty have four amazing kids who love one another and love Jesus. Paul has been engaged in full-time Christian ministry since 1991 serving in a variety of roles: youth pastor, worship leader, volunteer police chaplain, college ministry, church leadership, ministry network leadership, and overseas ministry.
