I am Dan Gruber. In 1996 Keith signed off as a church elder to allow me to become an ordained minister to children. The call of God in my life was planted by Keith Craven along with two other elders. This allowed me to reach thousands in Nicaragua, two decades of Vacation Bible School, and children's chairman for the Omaha Luis Palau Festival where 1,500 first-time faith in Christ commitment cards were turned in from the children's area. Scripture says one plants, one waters, but God gives the increase. Keith planted me so many have come to Jesus both here and overseas. Thank you brother Keith!
