Ministry Staff at seeJesus

Paul Miller, Executive Director

After graduating from Temple University, Paul taught at inner city Christian schools in Philadelphia for ten years. For the first three years he taught middle school in an all-black school. Then, with a group of parents, he started Spruce Hill Christian School (K-8), an inner city, multi-racial school. For seven years he was principal and teacher.

In 1983 he began working with his father, Dr. Jack Miller, on what became World Harvest Mission. World Harvest has teams serving in nine countries. He was Associate Director of the mission from its beginning in 1983 until 1996. He was responsible for operations, field expansion, and renewal ministries. From 1997 to 1999 he completed a Master of Divinity at Biblical Theological Seminary.

During his time as Associate Director Paul wrote several discipling courses. From 1985-88 he designed and wrote a course on grace called Sonship, which is popular in the Presbyterian Church of America. In 1989, he wrote Discipling by Grace, a companion course to Sonship. Both of these manuals have since been updated and re-written for World Harvest. These two manuals and their tapes have a worldwide distribution. In the early 90s Paul also wrote The Love Course, a course that studies the personality of Jesus as a way of learning to love. It is the precursor to the Person of Jesus course.

Paul is married to Jill, who is known for her sense of humor and faith. They have six children and seven grandchildren. Their oldest daughters, Courtney and Ashley, are busy young mothers. More recently their two sons, John and Andrew married. Their fourth child, Kim, is disabled. Their youngest, Emily, is studying nursing.

Bob Allums, Director of PrayerLife Ministries

Bob comes to us from Crossway Books & Bibles, where he worked since 2001, marketing the English Standard Version. At seeJesus Bob oversees the PrayerLife ministry. Bob’s greatest passion? “I've always wanted to see the church prioritize prayer, (with its study of the word) as the way she believes, gets her vision, and determines what she does next. There is vibrant life that comes from a praying and expectant church.” He also continues to serve as an Associate Pastor of Spring Valley Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Roselle, IL. He and his wife Helen have three children and live in the Chicago area. 

Julie Courtney, Director of Women’s Ministries

After leading a Person of Jesus Study with neighbors, Julie began to work part-time for seeJesus from her home in Northern Virginia. In 2004, she moved to the Philadelphia area, and began full-time work with the ministry: teaching, doing public relations, coordinating seminars and conferences, and training small group leaders. In her role as Director of Women’s Ministries Julie trains small group leaders, mentors women, and encourages them as they grow in their understanding of who Jesus is. Prior to working for seeJesus, Julie was a travel agent for twelve years.

Richard Eckhardt, International Coordinator

Richard works at seeJesus with a passion to personally know Jesus more profoundly and to see others passionately know, pursue and enjoy Him in their lives. In his role he develops partnerships with mission agencies and churches. Prior to working at seeJesus, Richard served as pastor and missionary over thirty years in a variety of ministries, from New Hampshire to Argentina. He has been married for more than 28 years to his wife Ellen and has two grown sons and a married daughter.
