Dave Fiedler
Dave Fiedler currently lives in Wichita, Kansas, with his wife, Clarissa, and their daughter, Tifona. He has taught elementary, secondary, and collegiate classes in various Seventh-day Adventist schools. His book, Hindsight: Seventh-day Adventist History in Essays and Extracts, came from his appreciation for the lessons of our denominational history, and is much more interesting than the title makes it sound. Since last summer, he and his family have been working to put those lessons to work in a practical way by establishing a metropolitan evangelistic project that includes a vegan restaurant, a health food store, an outpost-based team of colporteurs and Bible workers, a rural wellness center, and an active inner-city medical missionary work.

Magna Parks, PHD
Dr. Magna Parks is a licensed psychologist who lives in Atlanta, Georgia. She has taught at the college level for about 7 years and was been in private practice for 13 years (1994-2007). Recently, the Lord has revealed to her that true psychological healing can only come through the application of God’s principles – that which is derived from the Bible, Spirit of Prophecy, and “true” science. In January 2007, she and her husband Al Parks (trained through Uchee Pines as a lifestyle educator) started an organization called “Be in Good Health.” This ministry has allowed them to combine the health work and publishing work to teach others how they can enhance their lives – physically, spiritually, and mentally. They have conducted health seminars and cooking classes in homes, churches and other organizations. Dr. Parks has also written two books – “Treating Depression Naturally” and “Christians, Beware: The Dangers of Secular Psychology.”
Matt Parra
A native of Florida, Matt was raised in an Adventist home, but did not live a Christian life. After Matt gave his life to Christ in 1999 at a series of evangelistic meetings, he dedicated his life to ministry.

Many youth have surrendered their lives to Jesus and recommitted themselves to the Lord through Matt's powerful teaching and preaching. Matt was previously part of an evangelistic team called "Radiant Living", in Vancouver, British Columbia. This specialized team of young people teams with churches to train them and help them to win souls to Christ. Matt and his wife, Sherise, were married in December 2006 in Vancouver, Washington.
