Administrative Assistance

Rev. Don Buckel, having 25 years of Business Administration background, and 15 years as an assistant Pastor, and Administrator, is enabled, called and anointed of the Lord, to meet a very unique need in the Body of Christ.  Barbara Buckel was co-founder of this ministry with Don, but went on to be with the Lord in November, of 2007.  Don continues to write, travel and minister for Administrative Assistance, on a full time basis.

When Don was only 16 years old, he was taken into the family dairy business, as a full partner. Prior to that time, he had amassed a small herd [16] of Purebred Guernsey’s, and had attained the coveted "State Farmer" award in the Future Farmers of America program. Until 1979, when Don and Barbara answered the call of God on their lives, they were involved in the distribution [wholesale and retail home delivery] of dairy products, along with several company owned stores. Their family business had six Corporations, and a Limited Partnership.

It was in this background of 25 years of business activity that partially prepared Don for the ministry of Administrative Assistance. From 1978 through 1988, Don was 'hands on' involved as an assistant - then as associate, pastor in a local church, ordained, and then released into the ministry of sharing the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ on a 'trans-local' basis in 1988.

Administrative Assistance is a 'covered' ministry of The Life Church in San Diego, California.  www.lcmb.org/team.htm Honoring that relationship, Don maintains accountability to the church leadership, by giving annual reports of all finance and activities.
