Many of the children came from very difficult circumstances. Many had very poor self-esteem, school grades, hygiene, etc. God used us to help change these precious children and to provide a stable environment. We saw great improvement in their lives.

PERSONAL SKETCH:

I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma where I lived most of my school years. I attended Twin Cities Elementary in Sand Springs. While there, my favorite classes were art and science. I received the American Legion Award in the sixth grade. After elementary, came Central Junior High, in Sand Springs, where I was active in wrestling in my early years. My favorite courses were wood shop and science. Then came Charles Page High School, also located in Sand Springs. My favorite courses were carpentry and commercial art. I graduated in 1978. In 1980 I moved to Springfield, Missouri to attend Central Bible College. I attended until May 1983. This is where I met my wife.

We married in January 1982. We have been blessed with four wonderful children: Crystal (age 26) , Lisa (age 24), Jeremiah (age 21) and J. Isaac (age 13). My wife and I as well as our son J. Isaac now reside in Calico Rock, Arkansas. We moved here to be close to my parents who retired nearby. We felt the need to be close to them in their senior years. Recently my parents moved back to Oklahoma to be closer to my Dad's cardiologist and my sisters who live there. We are currently preparing to move to Nicaragua as missionaries in several months. This is why I am seeking temporary employment.
