I became a Christian in July 1957 while serving in the Air Force only six months before my discharge. The base was turned over to the Marines. I had been praying, asking God how He wanted me to serve Him. I came to Richland, WA, to look for God’s direction. I helped with Vacation Bible School. I took a step of faith and decided to stay in Richland. I met my wife, Lois, here, and we have been married for 63 years. We both love the church and people. I was baptized October 13, 1957, ordained as a minister August 24, 1978, and ordained as an elder October 3, 2010. We look daily for God’s direction. For You are my rock and fortress. Therefore, for Your name’s sake lead me and guide me. Psalm 31:3

I have dedicated my life to spreading the Gospel and training leaders to make a difference through church planting, discipleship and mentorship. I have been privileged to serve in Brazil for over 27 years planting churches and training missionaries and pastors as both a career and calling.

My passion for nurturing spiritual growth led me to author more than 16 books, available on Amazon. These books focus on practical and spiritual aspects of church planting, leadership, and personal growth. They reflect my experiences, insights, and lessons learned through the joys and challenges of ministry.

My years in Brazil have equipped me with a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by church leaders and missionaries in diverse contexts. This experience enables me to offer individualized, empathetic advice, guidance and support.
