About My Family
Accepting Christ as my Savior and being baptized at the age of 7 was the beginning. From an early age, I was interested in missions. I became involved in the missions and youth programs of our church. I had a couple of testing years, sowing some “wild oats” as a young adult. But as always, God was merciful and led me into a consistent walk of faith. I met my wife, Priscilla, when we became involved in helping start a new church. Priscilla and I worked well together. Then we began to date and were married less than a year later on November 4, 1978.
God blessed me with a successful career, working 32 years at the same company. During this time Priscilla and I served others and supported many missions projects and causes. As our two sons were entering adulthood, we believed God was changing our direction. After visiting a children’s home on a youth missions trip, I suggested to Priscilla that we become house parents. After prayer and waiting, God led us to the Tennessee Baptist Children’s Home. We served for five years and are still in contact with several of them.
Again, God has changed our direction. He has shown us the great needs where we live. We are trusting God for ministry partners who share our concerns for the needy and disadvantaged.

About My Ministry
Our personal ministry journey began in 2004 at the Tennessee Baptist Children's Home. March 20, 2010, I was commissioned in a celebration ceremony in Florida. Then May 18, 2010, the North American Mission Board (NAMB) assigned us to serve the local communities of Nashville and beyond. We established a partnership with NAMB and Brentwood Baptist Church.
Now we are self-funded, long-term local missionaries depending on God’s people for support and consistent prayer. Listed are some of the ways we are helping meet the needs of people: serving a variety of needs, demographics and cultures; working with disadvantaged children and youth; administrative support; mentoring; coaching project organization and coordination; counseling and assisting those living below the poverty level; food pantry; thrift store; evangelism through a mobile dental ministry. These are some of the ways God is calling us to broaden our ministry for the poor and disadvantaged to gain a platform to share the love of Christ. We hope you will consider partnering with us in our ministry.
