December 10th, 2022 was Dawn and my 40th Wedding Anniversary. We have been down many roads together, near and far. We have experienced life in unique and unusual ways. We have honored our marriage covenant through the good times and the less than good times 🙂 We brought two children into the world and raised…
On Saturday, June 2nd, there was a community event in the area close to our mission church. This event was called “Ghetto Fest” and it was designed to allow the minority community of Brno enjoy their culture through music and fellowship. I believe that the event was also designed to encourage Roma people and their…
This is a little photo gallery that shows scenes from a service we had recently at our mission church. This occasion was a bit special because we had a Czech acapella choir visit and present several songs to us in the American “spiritual” style.

We just got back from a 10 day trip to Jelsava, Slovakia where we assisted a large IWC Team (International World Changers). We had an awesome time even thought most of the days were very hot. Jelsava has a fairly large group of Roma people living there and we ministered to them for several days….
This is a gallery of photos I took on a very cool Saturday afternoon when a group of our Roma believer friends gathered together to spread the word about our mission church and it’s service to the community. We handed out leaflets with reminders about our service schedules, we engaged people with the Good News,…
