Glen was a high school All American Running Back and accepted a scholarship to Louisiana Tech University. As a four year starter, he was All Conference, won two National Championships, and was Most Outstanding Back for three out of four years. During his freshman year in college someone told him he needed to be saved to go to Heaven. Berteau responded, “Saved from what?” Kneeling on the floor of his dormitory room, Berteau accepted Jesus Christ on April 30, 1973.
As a Youth Pastor, he established one of the largest youth ministries in the nation. He is the author of the youth manual, “Strategies for Advancing Youth Ministries.” More recently, he has authored two books, “Christianity Lite” and “Christianity To Go.”
