Dale Deloney's Current Role & Duties
As a career ministry professional, Mr. Deloney enjoys showing others what Christianity has to offer. He reads the Bible closely and makes an effort to look for God's path in everyday life. In his younger years, after he attended college, he traveled both domestically and internationally to hand out Bibles, introduce others to Jesus, and meet fellow believers around the globe.
Dale Deloney is currently in the process of restarting his Christian ministry, and he looks forward to the upcoming years of re-engaging with churches and believers around the world. Because he places importance on understanding God's word as well as respectfully engaging others in critical thinking, his ministry emphasis will be on answering others' questions as well as presenting evidence for the truth that lies in the Bible.
Early Life and Career Beginnings
He was left in the care of his grandparents, who lived in the area, after being born in Houston, Texas.After a prolonged court battle, his mother and stepfather were given custody of Deloney as a toddler. As an adult, Deloney has great respect for all of the people who raised him and gave him his first opportunities to succeed in life.
Choosing a Career in the Christian Ministry
Mr. Deloney left Texas to attend the University of Wisconsin, but he soon decided that he would rather work for himself. He used his academic skills and experience relating to many different kinds of people to first work as a forklift operator and then as a production control clerk. Eventually, he decided to work for himself in this department. At this point, he moved back to Texas with his family.
Dale Deloney was exposed to Christianity when he was a teenager, but he didn't fully grasp the implication that faith could have in a person's life. After working for himself, starting an employment agency, and joining the United States Army, he felt a sense of emptiness that he couldn't describe. A friend reintroduced him to Christianity, God, and the fact that his life was filled with purpose. At this point, he decided to fully give his life over to God and awaited God's plans for his life. He then felt called to join the ministry and began making plans to spread God's word to those around the world.
Philanthropy
Mr. Deloney's philanthropy is closely tied to his career as a ministry professional. He has handed out Bibles in Russia, taken a mission trip to Siberia, and preached in the largest church in Omsk (a Russian city which is situated in southwest Siberia). During another mission trip to Mexico, he was instrumental in leading the building of a church.
