(L-R David, Efrain, Olivia, Jonathan, Catherine)

Ten years ago, the Lord put a missionary call on my life for the country of Mexico. From that time until now, my wife Catherine and I have been preparing for a life of missionary service. We have three wonderful children: David, who is eight years old, Jonathan, who is six years old and Olivia, who is four years old. Both Catherine and I are graduates of North Central University in Minneapolis, MN. I graduated with a degree in Cross Cultural Studies and Catherine graduated with a degree in Elementary Education. We have been active in ministry in Latin churches serving in a number of different areas. I have had the opportunity to work as an interim pastor at two different churches; I have also been involved in Christian education and church planting. The Lord has given my wife Catherine the ability to sing and play the keyboard, and Catherine has also worked as a licensed teacher in the state of California. We both have had the privilege of working as public school teachers for two years in the city of Coachella, CA. It was during this time that the Lord provided a large financial miracle that allowed us to pursue our calling into missions.

We have had the privilege of working in Oaxaca, Mexico for the last two years. The Lord has given us the opportunity to help start a Bible Institute and we have had opportunities to preach the Gospel in many small towns across Oaxaca.  We have also been very active in Royal Rangers by helping train new Commanders. 

Our first term will come to an end in May of 2009 we will be returning home to visit family, friends and supporters of our ministry.  Please pray for us as we work to raise the necessary funds to return to Oaxaca.  If you are interested in supporting us please visit our support page.  We would also love the opportunity to visit your church please contact us to schedule a service.
