Mr. David L. Bahnsen

Board of Advisors

David Bahnsen serves on the RCM Board of Advisors especially as a financial, investment and planning/development advisor.    He has been known to RCM board members for many years.  Original contact was made with him by Rev. Donnan in 2003 on a personal family matter having to do with his mother's estate planning and trust.  After doing exhaustive references on him, and knowing some of his other Christian clients, we settled on using him for these personal matters. 

Through that contact and assistance given to other Donnan family members, he became acquainted with the ministry of RCM and has been offering his services to RCM to help us make better use of cash flow planning and maximizing interest for RCM's cash management.  He has been instrumental in assisting in regards to financial transactions with our overseas partners and has been involved in assisting RCM in these capacities since 2004.  He has been instrumental in assisting RCM with its future planning as relates to financial and asset management.
