Frank Becker

Frank Becker

During the 1960s, Frank Becker operated businesses in New York's mid-Hudson valley, including Traveland, a multi-outlet recreation vehicle dealership. With his father, the late John S. Becker, he also designed two and built one housing development. In 1965, Frank entered politics, won the party's primary for New York State Senate, and was elected county chairman. Realizing that the world will not be saved by politicians, businessmen, scientists, soldiers, doctors,or lawyers, Frank found the Answer in the Word of God.

 

Pastor breaks TV setPastor

Led by the Lord, Frank Becker entered the ministry. He served as pastor of churches in Lyons, Troy, and Albany, New York. Working with fellowships of incredibly dedicated fellow servants, the groups founded rapidly growing bus ministries, award-winning Christian schools, and reached thousands with the message of Christ. Over an eleven year period, Frank pastored two conventional churches, and opened a third. He was the founder and administrator of Capital Christian Academy, an award-winning Christian school, grades K-12. For five years, while pastoring the independent, non-denominational, Capital Christian Church, Frank co-hosted a 3-hour daily radio talk show in New York's capital district.

Pastor Becker organized Home Church, Inc in 1976, and helped open several New Testament churches. He is a leader of a scriptural movement to promote church leadership opportunities for "non-professionals" in the spirit of Luther, Wesley, and, of course, the Apostle Paul.

You Can Triumph Over Terror is an emergency preparedness manual to help guide you in preparing for and surviving terror attacks and natural disasters. During the mid-1960s, Frank served as Emergency Housing Officer for the Dutchess County Civil Defense Department, an experience which, following 9-11, helped inspire the writing of "You CanTriumph Over Terror."

Painter

With a desire to demonstrate his love for his wife, and a great deal of ignorance about what is involved in oil painting, Frank prayerfully undertook his wife's portrait in 2003. He is shown here painting a college chum, Sir Ian Mark Heathcote-Amory, KB, of Devon, England.

Cross Trainers Ministries Logo

Mentor

In 2004, Frank and Joy Becker founded Cross Trainers Ministries, Inc, an independent ministry with a two-fold mission: First, Cross Trainers helps individuals identify, develop, and exercise their spiritual gifts. And second, it supports missionaries around the world by acting as a clearing house for donations, passing on 100% of any gifts to those designated. In 1996, Cross TrainersMinistries encouraged the opening of an orphanage near Hyderabad, India. Over the next five years, nearly $40,000 USD was sent to this ministry alone. With donations designated for that purpose, land was purchased near the Nehru International Airport, and construction begun on a 3-story facility which the India pastor called, "The Joy Becker Home."The Depression Proof Church was written in part to inspire and instruct those who are serious about their ministries in Christ.
 

Frank now divides his time between leading Cross Trainers Ministries, writing, and, occassionally, painting. Frank and his wife Joy live near Houston (www.joybecker.com).
