Rick has been in campus ministry for 20 years, regularly speaking and ministering as an evangelist on campuses in many different parts of the country. Rick is an ordained Anglican priest and served for three years as Pastor of Evangelism and Small Groups for Church of the Resurrection in Wheaton, Illinois, a church known for its healing prayer ministry.
