Author, writer, teacher and senior pastor for over 40 years of a church of 3000, Dick Iverson is now founder and president of Minister's Fellowship International. In the words of Jack Hayford, "Building Churches that Last has thankfully been written by a man who had done it When Dick Iverson writes, his work becomes immediately applicable to any vital ministry environment because of the fact he not only writes in a practical way, but he is steadfast in practicing the things he writes."
