It has been an honor to serve on the Board of Great Commission Coaching the last few years and to witness the Lord's abundant blessing of a ministry that is making a powerful impact in Latin America.  A.B. Scott laid a foundational vision and with the addition of Greg Conover, then Juan Carlos and Ruth Bonilla, the ministry team has become quite impressive.  Each member brings knowledge, understanding and wisdom from their own backgrounds that compliments and fuels.  The Lord has amazing plans for this growing ministry. 

I have known and served with Alan. B Scott for many years before Great Commission Coaching was founded. He is a dear friend and brother in Christ. As a founding board member, it has been a joy to see how the Lord continues to use him as he continues expanding the work of Great Commission Coaching to further God’s kingdom throughout Latin America and beyond.

As I prepare this morning to go to Ponte Vedra Presbyterian Church, it’s a great time to endorse our founding pastor from 36 years ago – Alan. B Scott. Thousands of people in the Ponte Vedra Beach, FL area have been so blessed by what AB started here. I’m grateful that God has blessed his Great Commission Coaching ministry in Mexico and to all of America’s southern neighbors. May God continue to use Alan B. Scott and Great Commission Coaching in mighty ways.

John has a very rich experience in ministry. He has served on the staff of a large church, planted a healthy church, pastored a large church and served on the staff of a para-church church planting organization.  When A. B. was planting Ponte Vedra Presbyterian Church, John was a great source of wisdom and encouragement.

Carol and husband David are members of Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis. Their wedding was the first Alan officiated. They have two children and five grandchildren. They have participated in several short term mission trips.

“It is a blessing to be involved in this ministry with Alan. He has a heart for sharing the Gospel, building relationships and for the people of Mexico. It is going to be fun to see how the Lord grows this ministry."
