A Little Bit About Us:

I grew up in a Christian home and trusted Jesus as my Savior at a very young age and have always had a heart to do God’s work. Bob and I met through my home church after graduating from the same college. Even though we never met at school, we both graduated with B. S. degrees in secondary education.

After only a year of teaching, Bob turned to dairy farming and milked cows for 24 years. My work became helping on the farm, taking care of the children and our home. In 1982 I began homeschooling our girls until they graduated from high school.

In 1989 we took a month off and traveled to a remote village in Papua New Guinea. It was our first cross-cultural experience with foreign missions. Then in 1997, I lead a team of young people (including two of our daughters) to Guatemala for a two week outreach. This is where I met a lot of the staff who make up MI. Since then I have been taking, on average, two teams a year to the mission field. Our trips have included the Dominican Republic and Hungary.

The first short term mission trip was a pivotal time for our family. Since then, the adults in our family (along with their children at times) have shared the gospel through short term missions in over 22 countries. God has placed in us a passion for His work in the nations.

Our Calling:

God’s call on my life for missions came when I was in high school. It was years before I would know what He wanted me to do with that call. In fact, I thought I had misunderstood it, but since I have been a mission teams leader, I am beginning to sense what God was doing.

As Communications Director for MI, I hope to get to know you through email and other contacts.

Bob, Crysten, and I, are also busy serving at our home church, Cornerstone Christian Fellowship.

Prayer Requests and Praises:

• For wise use of my time.
• For plans to lead a team in August
• Praise: Watching God work through the ministry of Mission Impact
