WELCOME!

We are glad that you are here!  This site is meant to be an up-to-date account how our full-time ministry developments.  It includes our statement of vision for what God has called us to as well as how you can partner with us in prayer and financial support.  Currently as of December 23, 2010, we are 70% funded and have begun part-time ministry this last September.  Lord willing, we hope to be on campus to do full-time ministry by January 2011.  For more specifics, see the “Financial Overview” tab on this site.

We have three children:  Nate, Josh, and Hannah.  Our boys are married to some wonderful Christian young ladies, Natalia and Rachel; and Hannah is home with us while working in a nearby mall.  We are also expecting our first grandchild from Natalia in April!   For most of our married life, our home church has been Calvary Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 

Our collegiate focus is “To seek God’s power to spiritually awaken individuals, America, and the world by mentoring Michigan collegiates to both live and proclaim the gospel without shame.”  It compliments both The Navigators’ mission and their statement of calling.
