His goal is to see renewal of Methodist Churches across the nation through prayer. Rev. Dalton has a heart for small prayer groups, particularly small groups of men praying with and for each other.

Neufeld, Henry E

Henry E. Neufeld has BA and MA degrees concentrating in Biblical Languages, and has done post masters work in linguistics. Neufeld has started numerous small study groups, in which he emphasizes building a present living experience using scripture as a foundation. He grew up as the son of Seventh-day Adventist missionaries, left the faith, then returned to the Lord in a United Methodist Church. This has led him to concentrate especially on experience that transcends barriers of doctrinal belief.
