As I've had the privilege of partnering with God through church planting and receiving training from Multnomah Biblical Seminary, the Lord continues to develop my doctrine, character, ministry skills, and leadership ability.  My passions include worship, playing guitar/piano, writing/recording music, playing soccer, doing research and mastering technology.

A note from Anna . . .

In December 1995, I received a Bachelor of Music Education with a concentration in voice from the University of North Texas.  I’ve had the privilege of serving through administrative, music, children’s and small group ministries but am currently focusing my time and energies towards raising a godly heritage as a mother of two energetic boys and supporting my husband.

A note about our Family . . .

We were joined in marriage on December 17, 1994.   On April 3, 2000, our son, Jaden Christopher, was born.  On March 13, 2002, our son, Jonah Matthew, was born.  We adopted both of our children at birth; both have special needs.  We enjoy singing and dancing together, hanging out, watching movies, playing games...

Our Ministry . . .

In April 1992, Anna & I trusted in Jesus Christ for eternal life.  In January 1995, Anna and I became church planting missionaries for a national/international church planting missions organization.  We have had the privilege of pioneering four different church plants (two college campus focused, one community and outreach focused, one focused on equipping and the poor) and serving in leadership in one other non-denominational church these last 14+ years.  Most of these churches have been heavily cell group oriented.  Additionally, church planting has given me the opportunity to develop a quite diversified set of ministry skills.  We are trusting God to enable us to transition into a different season of ministry during which roots are established and the church is equipped for ministry as I use my gifts and ministry skills.

Our Passion . . .

Transforming our culture and world through the person and purpose of Jesus Christ.
