Their Story
God has called our family to church plant in the Middle East!
By His grace and through the support of the church we have been church planting among the unreached in the Middle East for over a decade. We count it a great privilege and honor to serve the Lord and His church in places that are very spiritually dark. May the Gospel go forth in power!
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes” Romans 1:16a
