As a 501(c)(3) organization, the North American Mission Board respects the intent of givers while retaining discretion over the use of all gifts. Any gifts received above the specific need will be applied where the need is greatest.
About My Family
I serve as the pastor and planter of Manuia Bible Fellowship. My wife, Lucy, and I have served in ministry continuously for 34 years. We thank God for that. Also we served in and have retired from military service.
Before church planting, we served 26 years at Happy Valley Baptist Church in American Samoa. I served as an associational missions strategist for 17 years and as overseer of church-sponsored Samoa Baptist Academy (preschool to 8th grade) for 26 years. As pastor and missions director, we assisted in planting more than 10 churches.
Currently our new church plant, Manuia Bible Fellowship (MFB), is in her second year. Our Sending Church is Aina Haina Baptist Church of Honolulu, which is under the Hawaii/Pacific Baptist Convention.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
