Welcome to our website! Anne and I are currently in the ‘deputation phase’ of our ministry. That means we are traveling to meet with people and share the burden and vision that we have for the French speaking nations.  We praise God for those churches and individuals who have brought our support level to nearly 70%.

We are continuing to forge ahead in our preparations by kindling relationships, studying language and culture, and by being ‘on the field’ periodically.  Anne will be completing Practical Nursing Training. This will help us with the establishment of mobile and short-term medical teams for our cooperative efforts in Africa.  To gain practical experience, she was in the Dominican Republic last October with a surgical field team from Ohio. They put in very long days examining and treating hundreds of people from the Dominican Republic and from Haiti, many of whom received surgical operations.   This past summer she had the opportunity to work along side the 'Sage Femme' (mid-wife) Madamme Nangui in Bingerville, Cote D'Ivoire in a clinic established by Missionary Bob Mach.

We completed our several weeks of  'immersion' language training over the summer months and are now beginning the transition from 'deputation' to 'field ministry'.
