We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Lord for the many wonderful years of marriage that has been graciously entrusted to us. We are also totally thankful for the awesome opportunities given to us in pastoral ministries and missionary service.

Jeanette and I have served as pastor and wife of five established churches and have given lead in the planting of four other churches. Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan have been the main focus of our missions shepherding work over the period of 15 years. There is no way that we could have attempted these services without Jeanette’s love for God and people. She has been the best pastor’s wife any man could ever have. She is an awesome “mommy” and “grand-mommy”. She is the most godly person I have ever known. Many people are surprised to know Jeanette has a pastor’s degree from Bethel College (Mishawaka, IN). She served as home missionary with Child Evangelism for many years in Indiana schools and educated our children at home for over 20 years while overseas and here in the States. Moorepark Community Church has been so gracious to us as we have attempted to fill some pretty “big shoes” with the passing of Pastor Ken Miller. We are “Daring to Believe” God will do great things in days ahead.

Several people have recently asked me: “Bud, what are your hobbies?” I enjoy gardening and riding my motorcycle. Mostly I just work. I work a lot! But I would have to say my main answer is simple: “My family”. How my heart is filled with joy that all three of our kids are happily married to awesome Christian mates! We could not be more thrilled with our grandkids. “I have no greater joy than that my children walk in the truth…” 3 John 1:4
