Since there are some people reading this article who will not be familiar with you and your ministry, could you give us some background information about you and your family? I was born in Cincinnati. I grew up going to church… but I was lost. At the end of my eighth grade year my mom moved our family to Milford; we started attending FBCM shortly thereafter. Dr. Keen was preaching one Sunday night in June of 1998. I heard a clear presentation of the Gospel and I was deeply convicted in my heart. That night, before I went to sleep, I knelt by my bed and asked Jesus Christ to cleanse me of m...

I was still in Bible College and praying about where God wanted me to go. I was called to be a missionary at the age of 12. I came home for a school break and a missionary from what was then Dutch New Guinea had a presentation and God let me know at that time that that was where He wanted me to go. Indonesia took over the island from Holland and I was the first missionary to go there und...

Often when we think of unreached people groups, we think of people that live on a different continent in a primitive, technologically undeveloped area. While this can be true, it is not always the case. Aside from finding people from unreached people groups that live close to us, how do we help our young people get involved in the task of reaching unreached people groups? Sometimes we, even unintentionally, excuse ourselves and our young people from the responsibility of reaching unreached people groups because we think that we are incapable of being involved in the work; however that is si...

God has given my family and me the privilege of ministering to Muslim peoples. I want to share a few thoughts on witnessing to Muslims and also on the challenges we face in this line of work. What I am about to write comes from our short life experience working among Arabs in North Africa.
