About My Family
My wife, Marie, and I have been married for 20 years. We have five boys, and they range in age from 19–8. Marie and I met in high school and were married after graduating college. We live in a rural community in Ohio.
While in our late 20s, we felt God calling us to ministry, but because we had a young family that was growing, we thought we would do ministry later in life. However, through God-ordained events, we realized God is calling us into church planting now.

About My Church Plant
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen” (Ephesians 3:20-21, ESV).
I want to see generations of people come to Christ. This can only happen with full reliance on Christ. I am convinced that our rural community needs to return to Christ or face a difficult future.
We are being used by God to plant a church in our community. We want to participate in God’s plan for our area—to see generations of people accept His free gift and live the life He has planned for them.

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.
