He accepted the Lord in 1980 and began serving the Lord at the 700 Club as a counselor. Next he became the Operation Blessing Coordinator for Milwaukee. Greg did direct sales before answering God's call to start Cutting Edge Ministries, where he and Terri did marriage seminars in Waupun and Columbia prisons, coordinated feeding programs and outreaches to help inner city churches, conducted Bible Studies, and held Praise Nights, and Inner Healing Prayer Services. At this time, Greg became a chaplain at Waupun Correctional Institution.

In 1994, he planted and pastored New Beginnings Fellowship, a ministry that remained close to his heart.

Throughout his ministry, Greg also authored more than 20 books sharing his faith and the experiences he had with the Lord..

Greg will be remembered for his unwavering faith, compassionate heart, and steadfast commitment to serving others. His love for God, his family, and everyone whose life he touched leaves a lasting legacy that will continue to inspire those who knew him.
