Cliff Allcorn is from the Chicago area, where he has spent the majority of my life. By twelve he was a confirmed atheist and an aggressive one at that. At age eighteen he tried to persuade a believer that there was no God by showing evolution to be true, but God had other plans!  This believer carefully and patiently showed him the truth of Biblical Creation over the course of three days and then following that he gave Cliff the gospel message. As a result of his surprising conversion, he attended college at Trinity Christian College (Palos Heights, IL), followed by Roosevelt University (Chicago) and then Moody Seminary.  Cliff also received an MA in Land Warfare from the American Military University and has worked toward a Thd in Koine Greek from Tyndale Seminary in Hurst Texas. Cliff married his lovely wife Pam in 2003, and they have five children (Malachi (9), Judah (7), Eden (5), Asher (5), and Nehemiah (10 months)). Cliff currently serves the Lord as a Senior Pastor at Rim of the World Community Church in Running Springs, CA.

Deane Plew was raised in a very solid Baptist pastor’s home. He heard the Gospel day in and day out. However, he never came to true repentance in our Lord Jesus. His life was one of deception. His family suffered the consequences. At the age of 39, God’s Spirit broke Deane and brought him to His Savior & Lord in deep repentance. He is a graduate of Talbot Theological Seminary. God redeemed his family situation and today he Is the proud father of three living children and 14 grand-children. Jean, his wife of 49 years, is living proof of 1 Peter 3.
