Our Pastor's Testimony for God's Glory

Paula and I were married in 1984 and had a rough life because of drugs and much death. In 1986 my 18 year old nephew died, than my father died from alcohol, then the next year my mother died in my arms, her last words were "its all right" but nothing was. Six weeks later a best friend living with us died, a priest said he was in heaven because of his baptism. Another friend was weeping because he had never been baptized, but I was scared too. Then the next summer Paula's sister, husband and 10 year old nephew were killed by a drunk driver.

Our marriage was over. I thought a baby would save it, and made a vow to God to live for him but could not clean up and live a Christian life. I had always sold drugs and Paula had quit. I gave up any hope, and 3 months later started a new job. A man I worked with invited us to church May 20,1990. The message was for me, the invitation and the knowledge that Jesus paid it all was given to me by God through his men, and He saved my soul. Went home forgiven and going to heaven!

I could not touch drugs or alcohol since! Called to preach and trained at our local Baptist church Institute. Paula was saved Feb.14 1991 and we worked in nursing homes weekly, jail ministry, bus ministries, Sunday school, JR church and whatever we could for 13 years in the States. God called us to Romania Aug.2001 and we did deputation March 2002 to Oct. 2003 and were busy there! Took care of 2 churches and a bible institute for a brother on furlough the first several months then started a Baptist church 150 miles east in the spring of 2004 in Nasaud for 4 years with several other village ministries. Then had a church in Pericei for three years while also in Zalau, and also other villages. We will not work with the Baptist Union or accept their baptism because many of them teach a works salvation. Have helped another local church and Bible Institute 70 miles away too and our former missionaries bible school. In all I have taught over 500 college hours. Children camps, street meetings, giving out over 45,000 New Testaments, 800,000 John and Romans, many thousands of complete bibles in many languages, and have no idea the amount of tracts. All our family loves sowing the word of God. I know it is God's will for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, and God in his sovereignty gave man a free will. Then once saved we do not belong to ourselves, but are his purchased possession, a child forever and trophy of his grace.

Preached in Hungary much, Ukraine a dozen times throught the years and wherever God sends. Encouraging other missionaries and nationals to walk in the truth and contend for the faith.
We looked for God to start several churches, and worked in an orphanage weekly over ten years, many camps and VBS's teaching with balloon animals. Helped start three local church institutes, one here in MI., one in Nepal and one in Haiti that are sending forth labourers into our Father's harvest! Been back home in Michigan over 8 years now pastoring BBC in Constantine.

A jack of all trades, especially plumbing & cooking, helping build church buildings and preachers homes too where ever God leads.

We are Independent Baptist, local church planters serving God by the King James Bible as final authority (for English).

God has blessed me to travel preaching in over 500 different churches worldwide and translated in 17 different languages so far, can we help you in anyway?

I believe in training people to serve in love, and have many years invested in others whom we pray continue in the truth and lead others likewise.

God has blessed! And we know God will provide to continue to fight a good fight. If you have any questions our # is 313 244 1662

Thank you for serving our Lord according to his word. We desire to serve you the same.
