Born in the tough times in an Indian home on an Indian territory in the state of Oklahoma, Ivan Allen started working with his father building bridges at the age of 11. He knew then he wanted to be a builder. Determined to get an education, he worked his way through college and became a civil engineer. He worked in the oil fields of Texas and Oklahoma, and was the foreman on some of the largest construction projects ever built. His work also took him to California, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Georgia, and Louisiana. In his early 30's, he was challenged to study the Bible and became a Christian. He has given many Bible studies and held evangelistic series. Twenty photos included.
