Have you ever wondered what it would be like to meet Moses? To have lunch with Jonah (Hold the fish sandwich, please!), or talk with Peter, Andrew, John or Pilate?

About Dr. Stenbakken
Dr. Richard Stenbakken was born in Denver, Colorado and has lived and traveled around the world. He is married to Ardis and they have 1 son and 1 daughter. The family is quite accomplished, Dr. Stenbakken has four Masters Degrees plus an Ed. D. in Family and Community Education; his wife, Ardis, edited the women’s devotional books for the past 18 years. She served as Director of Women’s Ministries at the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists before retiring in Colorado. Their children and daughter/son in law are also accomplished, between them they are a Photographer, Anesthesiologist, International Communications & Studies, and Surgical Physician’s Assistant.
Dr. Stenbakken served for 24 years in the military followed by 14 years as the Director of Adventist Chaplaincy Ministries at the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. In the mid-1970s, while he was in the army, he was given an assignment to be in charge of a Saturday night chaplain’s Christmas program. This was his initial first-person presentation. He told the story of Inn Keeper telling Luke about the night of the nativity. This presentation was so well received that another chaplain asked him to present it again for both worship services on following Sunday. One character, the Inn Keeper, has “snow balled” into 70 characters, presented across the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Some of his characters are available on DVDs so they can go to places that he cannot, therefore reaching many more individuals. Of particular note, his characters have presented many times for the US Senate/Staff Bible Study group, various Camp Meetings, and numerous Pentagon Prayer Breakfasts.
