"Fil's
ministry as spiritual director, counselor and messenger of the Gospel is
annointed with the presence, peace and power of the Holy Spirit."

"...the spiritual director, Fil, was a kind and frighteningly perceptive
man who listened to my spiritual journey with sensitivity and silence. He
hurt with me. He laughed with me. He embraced me as I left..."
Dan Allender, Author
from his book, The Healing Path
"After
many years of excellent service in Young Life, Fil was widely recognized
as a 'minister to the ministers'. His heart and vision helped shape an extensive
national training program that has continued to grow and flourish. He left
a legacy of hundreds of staff who desire to love Christ more deeply and follow
Him more explicitly."
Denny Rydberg
President, Young Life
"God used Fil as my guide to teach me the value of solitude and the
joy of resting in the Savior's love.
