Jeff
Mullins has been the pastor of Canaan Community Church in Deer
Island, Oregon for over two decades as a missionary pastor with
Northwest Independent Church Extension (NICE). During that time he
and his wife Mary have raised seven children and have worked
diligently to make disciples. Jeff and Mary are assisting their
daughter and son-in-law plant a local deaf church. Jeff has
supported his family and ministry as a small businessman who operates
a portable sawmill and provides custom lumber.
Jeff
wrote his first book, Datingand Marriage,
in 1999 specifically for his children. It was his intent to use the
book to teach his own children about dating and marriage, so they
could avoid some of the heart aches so many other people experience.
At the time his oldest daughter
was 16 years old. Now, 19 years later, five of his children are
married and he currently has nine grandchildren.
He
wrote his second book, Children:Raising or Ruining? shortly
before his first grandchild was born. His
commitment to the faithful and practical preaching of the Bible lead
him to author three additional books Good Sermon Brother, You CAN Understand the Bible,
and ABiblical Disciple.
All
of Jeff's books clearly point to God's Word, the Bible as the
authority, recognizing that each person is ultimately accountable to
Him. Jeff has a unique way of drawing attention to the specific
instructions and principles in the Bible. Jeff's thought provoking
writing challenges assumptions, spurs study of God's word, and urges
practical application of God's truth. By
putting these things into print it is his hope to broaden his
ministry for years to come by providing relevant resources to help
fellow Christians succeed in glorify God.
