John J. Purvins
Christ's instructions teacher, Emeritus Management Consultant, Science and History analyst, and language scholar, J. John Purvins perceives relationships and life styles to be crucial for individuals as well as nations. He finds the words “narrow is the road that leads to life and few will find it” to be of major concern for humanity. He was born in Latvia in 1924. In 1950 he came to the United States and, while working for nationally known companies, studied history and laws that regulate the well-being of nations. The greatest change in his life came in 1957 when he realized the impact of Christ’s teachings on one’s present and future expectations. At that time he began to study the Scriptures’ original languages (Scriptures Hebrew and Koine Greek) and Christ's principles in healings. The result: his lecture series A More Precise Understanding of the Original Language Words. In his research, Purvins found that talent development is crucial in ones success in life. The result is his numerous lectures.. Purvins is the co-founder of Church Counsel, Inc. and Counseling Services Academy. Currently, Purvins teaches at the CS Academy. He and his wife Ina Elizabeth live in Appleton, Wisconsin. They have two grown children. Purvins can be reached at: fax 920-788-2939 or e-mail purvins@purpose-reasearch.com.Gary L. Lesperance
Christ's instructions teacher and CS Academy administrator Lesperance is a consultant and a member of CS Academy faculty dedicated to serving Christ and those who God sends. He recognizes that we are each genetically coded or preprogrammed with special talents and abilities. How we develop those talents during the course of our time on this planet and to what use we put them are critical to individuals as well as organizations. He has discovered that Christ's prayer for his followers, "thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" is a community building mission and not a request.In 1976 his life changed when he realized that God’s laws not only govern the universe but are crucial in framing one’s life and in surviving from this life to the next one. Lesperance was born in Wisconsin in 1955 and educated in the Catholic School System. In 1979 he began to put his organizational talents to use in emerging technologies that revolutionized information systems and then started his own high technology firm in 1981 and later, several other companies.
