He added, “Our calling to serve the church and its leaders with a wide variety of offerings is best delivered by a team of Ministry Development representatives who have had direct experience with the issues that church staff encounter every day. Dirk fits that model very well and is ideally suited to advise and consult with the churches in these states.”

He attributes his success to God, his family legacy in the Christian Church, his supportive wife, Shelley, and their three children.
Dirk states, “The truth is I’m just a ragamuffin Christian. I look forward to returning to my roots in ministry. I consider it a profound honor and my highest calling to lead and serve believers in the church and love the people who have yet to discover God is for them. I believe the Church, is the hope of world and God’s primary instrument for reconciling the world back to Himself. My passion for the past 35 years, which continues now with CDF Capital, is helping churches grow!”
