Don Kirchner, Board Member
Don has been part of the New Heart Ministries Board of Directors since 2007.
His desire is to reach the hurting and defeated souls that the traditional Church is unable to reach.
He loves to preach the Word of God in a manner that all can understand and to share his testimony of God's Grace in his life. The Brothers Keeper House remains a Vision for God's Direction.
Don enjoys motorcycles, but sees it a Ministry tool as well. His burden is for bikers, and people who have been addicted or in prison. He wants to give back all Jesus has given to him that others like he may come to know him. Don thinks that a relationship with Jesus is far more important than religious doctrine or denominational boundaries. His children and grandchildren are his gifts from God.
