Thanks for visiting 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
|
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.

is an award-winning technical writer and

The
Depression Proof Church: The Biblical Answer to the Church in Crisis,
was praised by Paige Patterson, president of the Southwest
Baptist Theological Seminary as a "breath of fresh air."
This important new book exposes the frustrations, summarizes the
symptoms, reveals the causes, and details how a return to biblical
principles and practices will build up individual believers and
revitalize the Church. It is available from Amazon.com and
Barnes and Noble (www.bn.com) in both hard cover edition and as an electronic

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.

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).
