Our son, James, lives in North Dakota with his wife, Joni, and our daughter, Jessie, lives in Oklahoma with her husband, Mike.

About My Church Plant
I am a church planter in Reeder, N.D., where I pastor Harvest Fellowship. We are a new plant that launched in June of 2025. We have a great group of people meeting with us. We were able to acquire an old church building that was vacant for more than 10 years and was being used as a storage building. We have done some remodeling, with more to go, and are very proud of the place that God has given us in which to worship.
We are ministering in a very rural part of North Dakota in a place where there are extremely few evangelical churches and have been in awe of the work God is doing in this place.

NAMB Church Planting
Demonstrated Christian character is essential for missionaries and chaplains to gain credibility and build community. A missionary is a person who, in response to God's call and gifting, leaves his or her comfort zone and crosses cultural, geographic or other barriers to proclaim the gospel and live out a Christian witness in obedience to the Great Commission. The North American Mission Board supports missionaries serving across the United States, Canada and their territories. Churches are the missionary incubators and sending centers for missionaries through the Southern Baptist Convention. Missionaries serve in a variety of settings and face tremendous challenges. But the rewards are tremendous and life-changing. Missionaries have the privilege to represent their church and their Father in sharing the gospel as the primary focus of their activity. If you are interested in pursuing next steps as a potential missionary or chaplain from your church, explore the possibilities at namb.net/send-me.
