Richard Stenbakken is a Speaker, Instructor, Mentor/Counselor, First-Person Presenter, and Author.  Becoming a pastor wasn’t what Richard envisioned for his life.  While in high school, Richard worked at a hospital.  He could see how he could serve God and do well with himself in the medical field. His senior year he was strongly impressed, and still resisted, he enrolled in college with a double-major in Theology and Edison.  It became mainly clear that he had been called into Ministry.  It wasn’t his first choice, but, there was no question that that’s where God wanted him to be.  After 4 years of being a pastor in Wyoming, Richard was invited into the Military.  He went into the Army as a Chaplin during the Vietnam Conflict. He thought he would serve for about 3 years, but God had other plans once again.  23 years later, while serving in the Army Richard was asked to be the Director of Chaplin Ministries on a world-wide basis.  This included the military, healthcare, corrections, and VA campus industry.  After 13 years, Richard retired from the Military.  Since, then Richard has been apart of the White Coat Program, 25 TV First Person interviews/presentations, including Silver and Bronze awards for his TV presentations, DVD series, written books, and so much more.  http://www.biblefaces.com/
