About

I am a pastor, a husband and a father of four adult children.  I was wondrously saved at the 19 from a life of brokenness and bondage to sin and self.  Jesus set me free from all that for which I am eternally grateful.  My life is no longer my own, but his to be used for his purpose and glory.

Here’s a picture with my wife Francelle, a great woman of God who shares a similar passion for Christ and the gospel.  She’s a faithful and devoted mother and a great discipler of woman.  Oh, and in her spare time she teaches kids in a primary school here in New Zealand.

In between pastoring and raising a family I’m also learning Russian.  I know – I must be crazy.  It all began when on a mission’s trip with SGA to the Ukraine a number of years ago.  God gave me a great love for the people and the language.  It’s likely I’ll be heading away on a few trips to that area of the world in the future.  That was part of the impetus for this blog; to record for those who might be interested just what the Lord is teaching me.
