We had never thought about Guam until just a few years ago. Our intent was to go to the Philippines and work there until we reach the point at which we could no longer go. But, like other life things over the last couple of decades, it seems that God had another plan for us. At least for a little while.

Of course, we knew where Guam was and that it is a territory of the United States. I knew a little bit about the World War II history here from reading so much about it when I was young. That was about it.

One thing we did not know is that the church here is small and evangelism has been carried on by only a very few over the years. The church has remained small, but thankfully sound in doctrine. There are about one hundred seventy thousand people living here and only around fifty assemble together as the Lord’s church on Sundays. When we realized we could very well be vessels God might use to reach lost souls on the island, we began to think about coming here to do mission work.

I first visited Guam back in February of 2018. It did not take but a few days to know that I wanted, maybe even needed, to be here. A return trip was planned for that fall and I stayed for a little less than three weeks, but drove around the island several times trying to get a feel of the layout.

There was no doubt in my mind after that trip that we were going to come here to live and work. It was just a matter of getting Joanna to fly over with me and see how she felt about it. Needless to say, she fell in love with Guam, the people, and the culture, as I already had. So, I began in earnest raising the funds to be full-time missionaries on Guam. It is not cheap.

If you or your congregation can help us continue this work, please contact me. The details on how to reach me are on the right side of this page if you are on a computer, or below on other devices.
