Location: Europe
Ministry Focus:
Marieve and I feel a deep stirring in our hearts, drawing us to Europe: the continent of our ancestors and a region in desperate need of spiritual renewal. We long to see a great harvest there.
We will begin with a ministry focus on Ukraine. We plan to take part in several short-term ministry trips, offering help and hope in this war-torn nation.
Beyond that, our hearts come alive in large, global cities. As God has used us across the years to build friendships in new nations, to share Christ in new languages, and to plant vibrant churches, we sense that He is calling us to do it again—this time in Europe.
Our Vision: With a burning heart for Europe, we find ourselves praying this almost every day:
"O God, would You use us again—in Europe—to win people to Jesus and to extend Your Church."
Ministry History: Over the past 45 years and across four continents, Marieve and I have served Jesus together. Our journey began on a small island near St. John’s, Newfoundland, with just seven people present, two of them were us! We married in 1980, and that same year stepped into full-time ministry.
Since then, we’ve served as pastors, missionary-pastors, church planters, and ministry trainers in diverse global settings. These settings include Beijing, Shanghai, Taiwan, Malawi, Canada and the United States. Throughout our journey, we’ve experienced powerful moves of the Holy Spirit. These moments continue to shape and strengthen our call.
Our Family: Marieve and I are so thankful for our “little family” that has now grown into a vibrant legacy of 19! We have four grown children and their wonderful spouses—and 11 delightful grandchildren. What a joy and blessing they are.
Prayer Requests:
Renewed Years of Impact: Pray with us for 15 more significant years of fruitful ministry, starting with five strong ones, should the Lord tarry.
Ukraine Ministry: Ask God to use us as vessels of mercy and encouragement in war-torn Ukraine, where the harvest is great and churches are growing.
Europe’s Spiritual Awakening: Pray for open doors to share Christ across Europe’s cities, especially among locals and expatriates where hearts are increasingly open.
Strength and Spirit-Led Mission: Cover us in prayer for health, safety, and stamina and for the Holy Spirit’s powerful guidance in every step.
