Win and his wife, Denise, are both transplants from rural Maryland to Florida via Mississippi, where Win attended seminary. Prior to seminary, Win was self-employed as a carpet installer and his wife, Denise, taught Kindergarten. With the advent of seminary came the arrival of children and Win continued his trade as a carpet installer to allow Denise to remain home with the children. Win arrived at Rocky Bayou Christian School in the summer of 2006, just after his graduation from seminary, to accept the position of Discipleship Director.
Essentially, Win functions as chaplain for the school, teaching Systematic Theology, the Writings of C.S. Lewis, and Introductory Hebrew to students. In addition, Win sponsors “Leadership Trek,” the school’s student leadership development program, heads up the chapel program, chairs the Bible department, and acts as the boy’s counselor.
In addition to his work at RBCS, Win is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church of America and serves part-time as pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Milton, Florida. Win also serves the International Reformed Seminary of Donetsk, Ukraine as adjunct professor of theology, a mission seminary founded by the missions organization: Reformed International Theological Education (R.I.T.E. – www.rite-ukraine.com), traveling to Ukraine to lecture for 1-2 weeks each summer.
Win’s theological hero is the 19th century Anglican Bishop, J.C. Ryle, sometimes referred to as “The Evangelical Bishop of Liverpool.” Ryle had a vision of calling those around him toward a life of holiness. This was evidenced not only in his preaching but also in his writing. Ryle was one of the great “pamphleteers” of the 19th century. One might argue that such pamphlets and tracts were an early precursor to today’s blogs.
