Chris Kovac completed his undergraduate degree in English at Acadia University in Nova Scotia, followed by a History degree at McMaster University and a Master of Divinity at McMaster Divinity College. After teaching high school for four years and since 2003, Chris now works with the Navigators of Canada directing a collegiate ministry at McMaster University
Chris came to know Jesus personally while a student at Acadia University. He was individually and personally discipled by a Navigator who mentored him through an intentional process of spiritual growth. As a result Chris has given himself to life-on-life discipleship, following Jesus as his model. He is passionate about God, his family, his ministry with the Navigators, sports, and music.
Chris, his wife, Darci, and their three children, Benjamin, Mikaela, and Moriah, live in Hamilton, Ontario.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT Acts 29
"Quality tools in the hands of a skilled worker create things of beauty and value. Acts 29 provides those tools that, in the hands of a person who embodies Christ, can be used to draw people to him. Churched people especially will find Acts 29 a valuable resource as they follow Jesus into and among a world of hurting, broken, messy, and-in God's eyes-beautiful and valuable people."
Eric Stolte, president, The Navigators of Canada
"Has God placed people in your life who need to hear the good news of the gospel? Forget trying to woo or win them. Strategies and programs won't get it done either-let your life speak. No matter what your personality, this practical curriculum from Chris Kovac will help you get the flag at the top of the pole. Let people know about the amazing gift God has given you and wants to give to them."
James McDonald, senior pastor, Harvest Bible Chapel; teacher, Walk in the Word
"At the heart of the gospel is the reality that its transforming power is a transferable commodity. But engaging ourselves in the effective transfer of the gospel to lives that so desperately need Jesus can often be a challenge. Chris Kovac has done an outstanding job in providing us with a comprehensive set of tools that will enable us to engage our world effectively for Jesus. My prayer is that this curriculum will equip our minds, embolden our hearts, and pay great dividends in eternity."
Dr. Joseph Stowell, president, Cornerstone University; author of The Trouble with Jesus
"Acts 29 will equip you with the essential understanding and skills you need to attract your friends to Christ. Take this material seriously. Do it well. It will prove to be one of the best investments of time and effort you'll make in your lifetime."
Jim Petersen, author of Living Proof, Lifestyle Discipleship, Church Without Walls and More Than Me
"With typical Navigator thoroughness, ACTS 29 by Chris Kovac makes clear the content of the gospel; the context for its reception and the confidence available to any willing Christian, who, as a 'worker together with God' will participate in His agenda of bringing people to Himself. It is refreshing, relevant and realistic and will open doors of opportunity to anyone with open eyes."
Charles Price, senior pastor, The Peoples Church, Toronto
