Our Background

We came to know Christ as our Lord and Savior later in life and waited and prepared for 13 years to become long-term missionaries but never gave up on God’s call on our lives. We took part in several short-term missions trips, including inner city work, Mexico and overseas. Our ministry has mainly been in evangelism, church planting, discipleship and raising up leaders. We pastored for four years at Calvary Foursquare Church in Tipton, IA prior to our appointment to Thailand.

Mission work in Thailand

We are currently serving in Mae Sot, Thailand, overseeing the operations for the Home of Hope Orphanage and training national Thai staff to eventually run it themselves. We also assist Foursquare Thailand President, Pastor Somphon (John) Srivichai, with teams, evangelism, church planting, discipleship and the teaching and training of leaders.

We have served in Mae Sot, Thailand for 2 1/2 years but are just scratching the surface of the Thai culture.  Language learning is another vital part of our work here.  It enables us to better communicate with the Thai people and be more a part of the Thai culture.  We enjoy forming relationships with the local people and through these relationships, share as we can about Jesus and invite them to church services and other events where they can hear the gospel from their own people.
