EYE ON EWE – BUSINESS MANAGER DALE PRINGLE
|
 Self-employed for over 22 years, Dale has built a construction business, landscape business, computer software application, programmed dozens of websites, been a missionary with YWAM, and is now proud to be serving Lamb Foundation as business manager. People ask, "How do you go from framing houses to computer programming?" In Matthew 25:15, Jesus talks about giving out talents; Dale believes this applies to many things including the skills God gives us. If we use them in an unselfish way, not only will He bless us, He will give more.
In November Dale will be married for 20 years to his best friend, Renee. He loves to be with her and is looking forward to the next 20 years together. Dale is also the proud father of four incredible girls ranging from ages 11-17. In moving forward, Dale’s goal is to continue using the talents God gave him, and add more, while working with the Lamb Foundation.
