Chile or bust...

20,000 miles and Counting

We are just weeks from leaving for Chile and our hearts are full of all that God has done during our time in the USA. It has been a privilege to share our story with churches large and small across Oregon and Washington as well as connect with personal supporters and friends during this past year. God is at work here at home too!

Laurel shared in many children's churches...the next generation is excited about missions! Albany First

Always love seeing the church's missions board, especially when it has our smiling faces on it. Cave Junction.

America the beautiful

One of the joys of the many miles on the road visiting churches, is enjoying the amazing scenery and wildlife here in the Pacific Northwest! Thanks to pastors for taking the time to show us some of your special haunts.

Making memories with family

Our youngest son, David, married Jenny Forsyth on Memorial Day. It was a beautiful wedding with Christ at the center. Both sets of grandparents came up for the occasion and we were able to spend a month with each.

We need your help!

In these next three weeks, we ask that you pray for us as we pack up our house here in Oregon and get ready for another four year move to Chile. We also ask that you prayerfully consider supporting us on a monthly basis, we are still $156 short in pledges that are required by our missions board.
