His ministry also included being elected to a board that supervised the ministry of over 200 churches.

About the Logo

Paradox Ministries

The Paradox Ministries Logo was inspired by Smale’s paradox and by the Celtic Cross.  As a bonus, there is also an subtle “P” in our logo.

Smale’s paradox is a mathematical paradox concerned with geometrically turning a sphere inside out without making a crease.  Jesus calls us to find ultimate life fulfillment by giving our life away to others.  By turning ourselves inside out, we will turn out world inside out.

The Celtic Cross is a cross with a circle around it.  The Cross tells us of Christ’s sacrifice to bring forgiveness of our sin and thus true relationship today.  The circle is symbolic on the eternal life we now have in and through Him.
