I grew up in a loving Christian family and accepted Christ at the age of nine, fully understanding what that commitment meant because my dad made sure I truly grasped it. Although I drifted away for a period during my youth, God never left my heart or mind.

A transformative trip to Guatemala in 1979 changed everything for me and ultimately led me into ministry. That same year, I met Crystal, and we married in 1981. Since then, our family has grown, and we deeply cherish the closeness we share.

Throughout my life, my journey has been about listening intently to God's voice and following His guidance as best as I possibly can. When people ask me why I have had the opportunity to travel and minister all around the world, my answer is always, “Because I said yes!” I encourage others to say yes to Him and watch the incredible things that unfold. As Crystal often says, “We’ve never lived a boring life!”
