The beginning of E4
In the middle of Bob’s seminary studies we started E4 out of a passion to see God’s church grow into the likeness of Jesus Christ through the equipping of thousands of Christians around the globe with solid Biblical teaching. For the first year we worked out of our single-wide mobile home. It was cramped, but the rent couldn't be beat.

Blessing & Seminary Postponed
We intended that Bob would be done with seminary before the birth of our first child, but Bob had to postpone his studies due to his responsibilities at E4. Starting such a large project was not the best idea for a seminarian, but realizing the great potential to benefit God’s church moved him forward. Bob felt that this CD could reach and impact far more people than he could as a pastor and so with that goal he founded the E4 group with the purpose of returning to seminary to pursue his call to the pastorate as soon as this vision was realized.

More Space & Low Rent
We came to need more space as the birth of Knox approached. Our mobile home was a two bedroom, but we now needed to use Bob’s office for Knox and Bob still needed an office. We also needed some space for warehousing and shipping the CD. God provided a church parsonage with very low rent that gave us enough room for both E4 and our family!

The Workers
To avoid the cost of buying office equipment and computers E4 used paid subcontractors who worked from their homes across the US. At the peak of production we had 45 subcontractors working from their homes doing scanning, proofreading, indexing, tagging and quality control.

Back to School
Once we have our members and the free CD is going out around the world, Bob will be able to return to seminary and pursue his pastoral call.
