Today's guest is my friend David Tompkins. As the president and CEO of Praise Ministries Int'l (PMI), David provides biblical and practical teaching, leadership training, encouragement to Senior Pastors, and guidance for the church body as a whole. Following a vision God gave him in 1988, he launched PMI to become an itinerate ministry to the world. The ultimate goal for this ministry is to help people find and develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as their Savior and God the Father as their source of true life and peace. He speaks at meetings and conferences around the world and has written courses as an instructor for Bible Institutes. He and his wife Shonda live in the Edmond, Oklahoma area and have two sons, one daughter-in-law, and four grandkids.
