In 2001 he founded Christ for the Nations Bible School in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa. And in 2010 he founded Equip Bible School — as an Internet Bible School.

Dan and Helen have four married sons and nine grandchildren, all of them serving the Lord. Their eldest and youngest sons are in the business world; their second son is also a pastor and the third son a medical doctor. Dan and his wife Helen currently reside in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa.

He possesses a pastor’s heart and is a passionate Bible teacher. He devotes most of his time writing books and is busy equipping leaders in the Church. His passion is to help Christians discover themselves in Christ; discover their potential and their ministries and gifts.

Over the years, he has mentored and equipped many pastors and teachers who significantly impacted spiritual communities through their ministries.
