He was the visionary and catalyst in purchasing the 56-acre Bayview campus from the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto.  He has spoken around the world and written numerous articles and books. Currently Dr. Stiller is serving as Global Ambassador for the World Evangelical Alliance which serves approximately 600 million evangelical Christians around the world.
