| After
graduation, Mr. Shults joined IBM and began a career in computers and
data processing, teaching Information Systems at the University of
California Santa Barbara extension school. Leaving IBM and moving to
Chicago, he became president of a small computer software house,
building software systems based on flexible report writers that allowed
unconstrained user designed applications. In 1973 he received the
baptism of the Holy Spirit, which dramatically changed his life’s
vocation. |
| Starting
an 18-year study of church history, theology, European, and American
history, he discovered the mistakes of the ancient church, the
disappointments of the Fraticelli, the strengths and weakness of the
Reformations, the spiritual brilliance of the Pilgrim covenant, and the
fact that his own family (the Rockwell family) were participants of the
formation of the American Covenant, arriving in America in 1630.
Spending two years as a software consultant to CBN accelerated his
appreciation of the work of the Holy Spirit in America. Then, under the
continuing awe-inspiring guidance of the Holy Spirit, he began to
understand the mission of America and how it has been stifled by
secularism, even as he understood the resounding importance that that
mission be reinvigorated with fervor.
