LEADERSHIP

DAVID COLLUM

President & CEO

I have a passion to see people meet Jesus and get to know God. Why? Because for years I was one of those guys who tried to follow all the rules, do everything right, and I even had some success. In the end though, my focus on “being right” led me to actually behave as if “I was always right”. I was no fun to be around. God in his mercy let things fall apart, and then met me in my brokenness.

I have been fortunate to work in Corporate America, with my last position leading the organization that cared for the nuclear power plants of our nation’s fleet of nuclear submarines. I also had the privilege of working in the Church as a full time Pastor for 12 years.

Today, I serve as the chief executive officer of The Pocket Testament League, where I get to lead this global movement of Christ-followers who are sharing Jesus in His own Words.

RICH WILSON

Managing Director of Outdoor Odyssey and Stewardship

I believe in the power of God’s Word and must admit, I’m partial to the book of John. My life has been bookended with the Gospel of John. As a child, an evangelist shared the Gospel of John with me and I accepted Christ as my Personal Savior. As a mature adult, God has called me to The Pocket Testament League to share Jesus’ story and to help others share His story through the PTL Gospel of John.

I’ve been blessed to work in several different ministry capacities over the years, which has cultivated my deep passion for connecting people to possibilities.

Now, as The League’s Chief Stewardship Officer, I work hard to give my brothers and sisters in Christ, the opportunity to be blessed through giving. We pray that you would allow The Pocket Testament League to come alongside of your Great Commission effort.

BRYCE C. HILLHOUSE

Director of Stewardship

Every day I thank God for the life he has given me and the path he walked with me. Through God’s grace and mercy, we are guided along the path of faith. However, just as children we don’t always understand what our Father is showing us. That is why I believe it is important for all of us to read scripture and let the Word of God resonate within us. We’re not going to get it right every time but with God in our life we’ll get there little by little. This walk of faith is not just showing up to church on Sunday, but a lifelong journey to the Kingdom of God.

I found my initial call to faith from a chance interaction with an evangelist when I was 16. I was taking an ordinary walk when this man just asked if he could tell me about the Word of God. This simple interaction had a profound effect upon me. I accepted Jesus into my life and began my journey to following him. I’ve never looked back since that day. It is my mission to help invite others to walk the path of faith.

I am thankful to be welcomed into such a wonderful ministry that does exactly that! The Pocket Testament League leads an amazing mission and I’m grateful to be a part of that. I’ve been blessed to have led in various capacities in the private sector, military, and nonprofit. Now I can apply these experiences to help save others the way a stranger once saved me.
