Author of the hilarious AMAZON.COM book, SUNGLASSES AND SPIES, which details two fun loving investigators fighting sex trafficking crimes in Hawaii. Richard has also been working in Hong Kong as an education advisor/teacher since 2012. Married to Emelita and proud dad of Abigail.

I’ve worked at Teen Challenge the past several years, and met my husband, Austin, there. We married on St. Patrick’s Day 2018, and now almost a year later we’ve had wonderful son, Jakob Kenneth, on March 5, 2019.

I am currently an assistant principal for a PK-6th grade campus I am married and my two amazing children keep me busy in my spare time.

Elwyn and I serve as pastors of Bethel Church and have been in Temple, TX for 28 years. We found what we love to do and we actually get paid for it. Our kids, Dustin & Cara (Miles) Johnston and Dylan & Victoria (Williams) Johnston, are on staff at Life Church in Germantown, Wisconsin. I presently lead Church Life, Quad 3, Ministries and Discipleship at Bethel Church. I love it when generations share in ministry calling, so making space for next generation leaders has been a passion of mine. I’m thankful for my years spent at SAGU and the experiences my family members have enjoyed there.

Currently working on my Masters of Divinity Degree in Theological Ethics at the University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland. Will graduate in August 2019.

My training and experience gained from SAGU have proven priceless in my current field as a mental health professional. The vital importance of the sincere study of God’s Word has proven to be the answer to all of life’s troubles.

Oneida (Barton) graduated from SAGU 1950. We were married on August 8, 1951. Served as Evangelists for two years. Served as Missionaries as follows: Sri Lanka (aka Ceylon) 1952-1957; Fiji Islands 1962-1965; Philippine Islands 1975-1980. I graduated from Fuller Theological Seminary 1981 with M. A. degree in Cross Cultural Communications (Missiology). I served as Editor of Underground Evangelism magazine from 1982-1988. Oneida and I had two children born in Ceylon: Arne Ralph (b. 1954) and Marva Grace (b. 1955). We retired in 2007 after 63 years of ministry. Oneida died on March 5, 2012, at age 83. I currently (2019) live in Boise, Idaho, near my two children, eight grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.

Just had our 2nd child—Sawyer Craig on 3/22

Sharla and I serve as pastors of New Life Church in Kingwood, TX (Houston suburb), which we founded in January 2005. We have four children, two of which are married giving us five grandchildren. The Lord has blessed us beyond our wildest imagination and we would not trade our journey for anything. Over the years we have served as pastors in Illinois, Kentucky, and now Texas. We believe the Lord for great and mighty things. In addition to pastoring, I earned a Ph.D. in Management, which opened the doors for me to teach online for Grand Canyon University (since 2007) and The King’s University (began 2019). If any of you are ever in the Houston area, we would love to see you.

This year outside of SAGU growth has happened in ways I would have never expected. One of those ways is my voice in how incredibly in love with the Lord I am. I teach 3rd Grade in Red Oak, TX in a public school. However, the laws restricting my voice in Him only make me sing louder His praises! During the moment of silence every morning I have taught my students it’s a time for respect to those that have given their lives for our freedom, but also a time to thank the Lord for the day. As a result, He has brought so many babies to me, literally flocking to His presence in the room. This is a picture of the “prayer team that I had recently joining me in prayer in a place where His name is outlawed. May your voice in the Lord never be stifled by man.

Currently serving with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg. I participated in Operation Inherent Resolve in 2017 during which time I witnessed the fall of ISIS in Mosul. I was also awarded a Bronze Star Medal with Valor for my actions which saved the lives of more than 20 American soldiers (myself included) who had been ambushed by ISIS militants. The Lord was faithful in protecting us and keeping our wits sharp during a very dangerous event. His hand orchestrated the appropriate pieces to fall into place exactly as needed. We must always remember that it is better to be surrounded by our enemies and in the Father’s will than to be safe at home and outside of His will.

Married June 23, 2018 Currently working at North Star Bevavioral Hospital as a Mental Health Specialist level III, recently promoted to a manager at the facility.

She continues living here and working in Freedom Fellowship International where she finds a way to continue ministry to hurting people.

My wife and I graduated from SAGU in 2013. We loved our time there as on-campus graduate students and have great memories of SAGU! We now have two wonderful children, Melody (6yrs) and Ian (4yrs). We have been serving in church ministry as assistant pastors for the last 8 years in El Paso, TX. I recently completed my doctoral journey in April, 2018 (Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership, GCU). SAGU was such a blessing in our lives and will always hold a special place in our hearts!

It’s a busy life! Many of us live life similar to the hamster inside the hamster wheel. We’re forever running, exerting tons of energy, but going nowhere and accomplishing nothing significant. It’s so frustrating! Must life always be this way? Christian author and speaker, Karen Norton, has recently published her third book, Marginalysis, Building Margin into our Busy Lives, and she wrote it for overly busy people—the student, busy mom, those in the ministry, in the workplace, single or married with kids, and the over-scheduled family. Life seems out of balance, and the everyday stress and pressure can be overwhelming. If you see yourself here, Karen invites you to stop spinning your wheel, step back, and take a long look at yourself. Only eighty-two pages in length, Marginalysis will help the reader reestablish and maintain healthy margin in their day, add mental clarity and focus, prioritize, reduce stress, be more productive, achieve goals, and regain joy. It will teach you how to build guardrails around your time with God each day so that it does not become a casualty of the edge. Karen writes, “My prayer as you read Marginalysis is that God will teach you personally what you need to know to live fully within the boundaries He has established for your life in order to be healthy and more productive. Boundaries are not restrictive; they create long-term health. A quote from Clint Eastwood in one of his Dirty Harry movies sums it up pretty well: ‘A man has got to know his limitations.’” Marginalysis, Building Margin into our Busy Lives is available online through Amazon and Barnes & Noble. She invites you to visit her website at www.karennorton.com.

In January of 2019 my book, Explaining Evil: Four Views, was published by Bloomsbury Academic. In this book I asked four prominent philosophers (two Christians and two atheists) to give their account of why evil exists. The four contributors all read and respond to one another’s account which makes for an interesting exchange of ideas about this difficult issue. I’d like to thank Jeff Magruder who first got me interested in philosophy in general and the problem of evil in particular (via our classroom discussions about the book of Job).
