Inspirational Teachers - My Dad

My dad is my dad (Brad Gunter Sr.). Born in hard working, blue collar, Oregon lumber mill family. Athletic to the bone, socially fun, and experienced in wide array of work. Vintage baptist preacher, 1970's church planter, and founder of a Christian school. Not a quitter, gritty, and fighter for good. He for sure is a character. He came to know Christ, who led him to Sacramento to plant the gospel, along with a wife and three sons. Much reflection can be done to his accomplishments. He might tell you of teaching stories about bus ministries, broken cars, eating gold fishes in front of kids, and usefulness of the mobile home as economical beginnings to a minister's life. As a dad, he was there when many were not. I learned work, sports, responsibility, respect, fortitude, conviction, tradition, grace, and love from him (also how to kill animals).
