Our Staff

My wife and I have lived in the United Arab Emirates and in Central Asia, each time pastoring International English language churches. Before that we planted two EFCA churches in the United States. In between oversea assignments we worked in pre-field training for workers going overseas in Detroit and the large Arab Muslim community in Dearborn, MI. We have been supported partners with CCC since 1987. In 2012 we were invited to come to CCC to provide member care for the church’s various partners. Because of our passion for the Lord’s church, our academic studies, and our varied cross-cultural ministry experiences, we are delighted to use our gifts and experience to walk alongside our world-wide partners as they process life and ministry transitions, joys and struggles.
