He was personally trained and mentored by one of the best master marketers of all times who was Mr. E. Joseph Crossman a self-made multi-millionaire. What Mr. McCowan learned from E. Joseph Crossman combined with what he has learned from studying and researching biblical economics for over twenty years has allowed him to start living a life that most people dream about. One of his dreams was to be taken off of the payroll at the church he pastors.
