As things continue to change in America, and world situations point more and more to the end-times, it can be increasingly hard to remember, the battle is the Lord’s! We are to remain focused on Him and be busy with the greatest commission ever given to man – go into all the world and preaching the gospel to every nation. It is for this reason we want to share our hearts with you, a little of our history and what God has called us to be a part of in the far away country of India.

For some time, my wife, Jeanmarie, and I felt God’s leading to min ister to the people of India. We waited with joy as God prepared us for this change. We knew it would be a far cry from the small Chicago suburbs we had both been raised in, but we were very excited. We prayed for the right
Opportunity, which came in 2007 when we made plans to join Native Missionary Movement (NMM); a long standing ministry in north India. NMM has planted over 1400 churches over the last 40 years in some of India’s poorest and most remote villages.

Our home, and mission field, is now Udaipur, Rajastan in the Northwestern part of India. I am teaching apologetics at Filadelfia Bible College which is the main training arm of NMM. Here, young men and women who have responded to the call of God on their lives, receive the necessary training and spiritual foundation they need to be successful as evangelists and church planters. Many are rejected by their families for their decision to turn from Hinduism to Jesus, but this doesn’t stop them in their determination to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Along with teaching at the college, I am helping in various aspects of ministry within Rajasthan Pentecostal Church as well.

Jeanmarie not only stays busy keeping track of our son, Noah, but she also teaches P.E. and dance, and helps out with many projects at the college and at St Matthews School. St. Matthews is an English medium school with international standards, started by the ministry to educate poor Hindu chil dren who otherwise couldn’t afford a good education. By charging less than a third of what most private schools would charge in tuition and by raising the standard of education that is being offered, St. Matthews School is showing the people around them, who are very suspicious of Christianity in the first place, that their investment into the lives of those around them is real. The Bible is taught in the school and Christ’s unconditional love is shown through the staff. The school has helped reduce some of the persecution from the Hindu’s toward the Christians in this region.

Thank you and God bless,
