Peacemaker Ministries Founder, Ken Sande, adds this about Dale:
Dale and I have connected deeply and enthusiastically, and I am grateful that God has called a man of this caliber to lead the Peacemaker team. Dale has impressive gifts and experience both in the corporate world and as a mediator and Christian conciliator.
