"Michael's grasp of how our evangelism and evangelism training ministry benefits the local church and community instantly impressed us," added Billy Glass, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Michael and his wife Kristen have been married twenty-seven years and have three adult daughters. Mr. Nolan holds an MBA in Marketing and Operations Management from the University of Dallas, and a Bachelor of Science in Aviation and Financial Management from Louisiana Tech University.

"I'm humbled by Bill Glass and the Board of Directors selecting me to head up this Gospel- centered organization," said Michael Nolan.
