Clint makes his home in Clay Center, Kansas, with his wife, Kathe.  He is a simple communicator of the gospel and has spoken before a variety of audiences in various settings.  He has preached before ages ranging from children to senior citizens, in churches and at prisons, from the streets of New York City to the statehouse of Kansas.  He agrees with Paul in saying, “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord . . . and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him . . .” (Phillipians 3:8, ESV).
