Rock Solid 2008 Cornerstone Speaker: Dean Cowles, founder and president of YouthPartnersNET.

Dean Cowles is an urban pastor, an author, and a speaker.  More important, he's happily married to Cheryl (a Sunday school teacher and obstetrician/gynecologist) and a dad to three sons.  Dean wears his passions on his sleeve: family, missions, and reaching children, youth and their families with the gospel.  Dean began his full time urban work in 1985 when he founded Shepherd Community, an inner city Compassionate Ministry Center and congregation in Indianapolis, Indiana.  After many years of fruitful urban ministry, Dean and Cheryl felt a call to serve in foreign mission work.  The Cowles' left for two years of voluntary missionary service at Tenwek Mission Hospital in rural West Kenya, Africa.  Dean's ministry was with the national chaplains and local churches.  While in Kenya he founded the L. Nelson Bell International Chaplaincy Training School.  In 1996 Dean accepted the call to move to Denver to become pastor and director of Crossroads of the Rockies, an inner city church, and to direct their ministry outreach efforts.  Dean was asked by Compassion International to serve as their USA Ministry Director in 2000 overseeing all of their domestic programs and staff.  During that time, the USA ministry started its advocacy approach and enlarged its national partnership network.  Compassion USA also designed and produced one of the premier urban youth workers training conferences in the country called CompassionWorks.
