My Photo
Name:
Location: Tijeras, New Mexico, United States

I have had the privilege of ministering in various capacities in full-time Christian ministry since 1975, most of it in the pastorate ministry. I am an ordained minister. I have pastored churches in Oregon, New Mexico, Upstate New York, Maine and Illinois. I moved back to New Mexico a few years ago due to the need to assist my mother who was having increased health problems. She is doing fairly well for 89. I enjoy a great fellowship through Calvary Chapel East, of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Pastor Gary Cowan is doing a tremendous job in leading this fine, local fellowship. I am privileged to hold an Associate in Biblical Studies degree, a Bachelor of Theology degree and nearly completed a Masters program in Christian Counseling. I sing, play guitar and write music. I am available for pulpit supply, revivals, music, home fellowship Bible studies, various family services, etc. I am also a spokesman for the cause of foster care and adoption. I am originally from Schuyler County in the Finger Lakes area of Upstate New York. It is beautiful country and was a great place to grow up!

More Sermons, Bible Studies, etc. as shared Pastor Don:

This series on the Book of James is dedicated in memory of my grandfather, the late Wilson C Fuller. He and my grandmother finished well, as dedicated Spirit-filled Christians, and have since left this earth to be with Jesus. James was his favorite book of the Bible. The last time that my grandfather heard me preach was as a guest pastor at his church, Glad Tidings, of Horseheads, New York, by the gracious invitation of Rev. Eddie Lowmaster, who is also now with Jesus. So I warmly dedicate this series in my grandparents memory:
