About Trent Wheeler
Untethered Living: Understanding the nature of real freedom. The Parenting Project: Two views of successful parenting. Plant, Water, Grow! Contextual ministry at work. Blending Families: Where two become one. Single Again: Living a Fulfilled Single Life. Mining Gold (Consulting services for fundraising needs). For the past 15 years Trent has been in the mining business. His job has been to find hidden treasure for non-profit charities, schools and religious organizations. There are thousands of great organizations and works taking place all over the world, but they all have one thing in common - they need money to fulfill their mission. Most people are surprised to learn there is plenty of money to go around. What most people lack are vision, clarity in communicating their message and at times a lack of motivation. Whether you are an individual who is seeking venture capital, or a non-profit that needs money to expand your mission and vision, Trent has compiled a series of simple, step by step programs to help you acheive success. Through his workshops and workbooks, Trent not only shares the keys to finding hidden wealth, but he has learned that the real secret to success is in relationships. Henry David Thoreau said, "the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." This is only because they have never discovered their purpose. We spend our lives trying to get ahead, in pleasing others, to make a living and all along the way we forget (or never learn) how to live, laugh and love effectively.
For the past 51 years Trent has traveled a unique and uparalleled journey through life. Whether it was relief work in some remote part of the world, or dealing with the heartaches and tragedies of life, he has developed an optimism and energy towards living each day to the fullest.
Trent's life has been anything but ordinary. He narrowly escaped a riot in the capital of Honduras; traveled with armed guards across the back roads of Nigeria and witnesses the graduer of the Southern Alps of New Zealand. All of these experiences have shaped Trent's wonderful perspective on life.
When faced with overwhelming odds and certainty of death, Sir William Wallace said, "Every man dies. Not every man really lives." This has become Trent's mantra for life. It isn't easy to live with intention, purpose and a clear direction of where you are going. Even when you define those goals - you have to execute your dreams. No one else is going to do it for you.
Trent's enthusiasm and optimism is shared through the workshops he provides for churches, christian organizations and corporate functions around the world:
