What I Remember From My 80 Years Of Life Dr Alton E Loveless

I was born five miles east of nowhere and had little hope of ever seeing the vast beauty much of the world had to offer. The first 16 years of my ministry was spent as a local church pastor. The last pastorate was in Joplin, Missouri where I met the National Marketing Director of a large publishing company from Wheaton, Illinois that changed the direction of my life. My first jet flight was one stormy Monday morning as I flew from Joplin to Chicago for my first meeting with the company heads. The rest is history and that move gave me the training and abilities I did not get in college. That trip was the beginning of many, with the next 33 years seeing me active in Teacher Training workshops, Christian Education and Interpersonal Relationship seminars in this country and abroad presenting more than 1100. I have traveled, spoken, been used as a consultant, or conducted seminars in 69 denominations and countless independent churches in all 50 of the States with the exception of Nebraska and North Dakota. I performed various roles in all the provinces of Canada, but five, and in 38 other foreign countries. Most places were visited numerous times. At this writing I am 80 years of age, and have seen far more change I would have ever dreamed.
