In April 2001, Pastor Phil accepted the call of his sending church-Grace Church of Des Moines, IA-to become their senior pastor. Since arriving in Des Moines, Pastor Phil has watched the Lord bless the ministry and continue its strong evangelistic outreach. As a missionary, Pastor Phil has brought new focus to the church's missions outreach. Whether it is serving as a missionary/evangelist on a foreign field or leading a large church in America, Pastor Phil's one desire is to see God glorified, the gospel preached, and new believers growing in their walk of faith.
