M.D.

Biography

M.D. grew up near Buffalo, New York in a Christian home. When he was 7 years old, he heard the gospel for the first time at a non-denominational church. M.D. responded by confessing his sin and need for the Savior, placing his faith in Jesus Christ. He was baptized at the age of 12 in a Baptist church near Buffalo. ย He attended and graduated from college in upstate New Yorkย and law school in Washington, DC. While there, he was active in local churches, the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, and the Christian Legal Society. M.D. met his wife in law school and they were married and moved to Central Florida. ย She grew up in New York, came to savingย faith in Christ at the age of 14, and was baptized in a Baptist church at 17. M.D. practiced business law for 30 years, and she practiced law as a prosecutor prior to them having and homeschooling their family.
Early in their married life together, they attended various charismatic and Baptist churches prior to studying and becoming convinced of the Doctrines of Grace and the importance of expository preaching and family worship. In 2006, they began attending a Reformed Baptist church in Central Florida. M.D. served as an elder there for over 5 years. In 2012 they visited Grace Community Church, a Reformed Baptist church much closer to their home, and they have been members there since 2013.

In 2022, M.D. became a full-time missionary serving with Third Millennium Ministries (The Thirdmill Story). For 30 years, Thirdmill has promoted Biblical Education, For the World, For Free, believing that every Christian deserves to have well-trained pastors. Thirdmill has done this by โ€œputting seminary in a boxโ€ and giving it to the nations, with a particular focus on equipping the millions of pastors in the global South and East who do not have access to sound, seminary-level training in their heart languages due to cost, location, and/or persecution. Thirdmillโ€™s resources consist of a robust and thoroughly Reformed Biblical and systematic theology curriculum which it makes available for free to anyone in video, audio, and print formats, for online or offline use, in whole or in part in 28 languages. Thirdmill resources have been used by over 2.2 million people in 175 countries. M.D. began at Thirdmill as their first Regional Director for South Asia and has traveled quarterly to South Asia to meet with new and existing partners and to conduct pastoral training events.

In 2025, M.D. was asked to also serve as Thirdmillโ€™s Regional Director for Latin America and has since divided his Kingdom labors and travel between South Asia and Latin America, serving pastors in about 40 countries. M.D. notes, โ€œI count it to be among the greatest honors and joys of my life to meet, encourage, equip, pray with, pray for, serve, and learn from the example of, so many faithful pastors serving Christ and His Church in some of the most challenging and dangerous places in the world,โ€ and adds, โ€œNone of this Great Commission work would be possible without my Proverbs 31 wife doing all that she does at home to support me in this mission and to care for our family.โ€
