About My Family
Kandy and I have recently joined the North American Mission Board as church planters. We have lived in Oregon twice since 2008. We have a passion for Oregon and the people in our community. Two of our three daughters graduated high school here and our oldest daughter is getting married here this summer.
About My Church Plant
We are planning a church plant in Cottage Grove, Ore., which is about two hours south of Portland. This is an area of diverse culture and a typical Northwestern community that has a census of around 12,000 people.
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.
