He makes three trips a year with his wife and a team of volunteers to remote, undeveloped areas of eastern Nigeria.

The Gospel is clearly presented to each patient, many of whom follow African or middle eastern religion and have never heard the story of Jesus’ death for them explained in a way they can understand.

We are facing a “good problem” in the crisis pregnancy ministry. We need more space for our office and counseling services and we need a home for the girls who have been thrown out with nowhere to go. I found an ideal place at Evangel for expanded offices but it will mean moving the administration offices to another building. So it is sort of a domino effect. We have our eye on the six room office the administration is now using.
