Our Testimonies

About Dan:

• Dan was born in Philadelphia, PA, on November 29, 1967 to Bill and Nancy Hadik. He was raised in a Christian home, and when he was just a five year old boy, he accepted Christ as his Savior. When he was nine, his father was offered a job at the newly-starting press at Bob Jones University. The family moved from Pennsylvania to Greenville, SC, which also allowed Dan to attend Christian school. After graduating with an Associates degree in Business in 1990, God led Dan to join the U.S. Navy submarine force. He served on two submarines, the USS Omaha (SSN 692), and the USS Helena (SSN 725). During that time, Dan's relationship with God grew immensely as Dan sought to serve the Lord while serving his country. Dan began to feel God's call on his life to become a preacher. After completing 6 years of service in the Navy, Dan went to Ambassador Baptist College in Lattimore, NC, to train in the field of Evangelism. While at college, Dan was given the opportunity to travel and preach with singing groups on the weekends and over the summers. In 2001 Dan graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Evangelism. He then pursued selected Master's Degree courses in Old Testament Studies before launching out into full-time Evangelism in May of 2002.

About Lisa:

• Lisa was born in Harrisburg, PA, on April 24, 1969 to Sam and Cindy Berger. She was raised in rural Pennsylvania outside the town of Duncannon in a loving and good home. Although, it was not until she was twenty-one years old that she heard the Gospel to the point that she realized it was a personal decision. A week after this realization, she accepted Christ as her personal Savior. At that time, she was working as a Physical Therapist Assistant/Office Manager in a local out-patient physical therapy facility. As she became grounded in and faithful to God’s Word, she felt God's calling in her life to surrender for full-time Christian service. She knew that training was necessary for her to pursue this new field of service. In the fall of 1994, she enrolled at Ambassador Baptist College and graduated in 2000 with the Graduate of Theology Degree. While at college, Lisa had the opportunity to travel and serve with singing groups on the weekends and over the summers.

About Dan & Lisa:

• Dan and Lisa met at Ambassador Baptist College. In the Spring of 1995, Dan was “on leave” for three weeks after decommissioning the USS Helena submarine in Connecticut before returning to Pearl Harbor for service on the USS Omaha. It was during this time that Dan made a visit to Ambassador and was introduced to Lisa. Dan returned to Hawaii only one week after that initial introduction. But, God had already made it very obvious that Dan and Lisa were to pursue a relationship towards marriage. Exactly 3 months after they met, Lisa had the opportunity to visit Dan in Hawaii and he proposed the day after she arrived. Because Dan still had time in his military service and Lisa was receiving training in school, they were engaged for a year and a half. Dan was discharged from the Navy in November of 1996, they were married on December 21, 1996, and began their life together as students in January of 1997. After finishing their degrees at Ambassador, in May of 2002 they began their service in full-time Evangelism across the United States with Glory All The Cross Ministries, Inc.
