We would like to invite you to not only get to know the work and ministry that God has called us to do, but also our family. Take a look into our past, and see how the Lord has changed our location but our lives through the wonderful work here in the Philippines. |

| "I was born in the Philippines and grew up in a Christian home. I consider myself extremely blessed for you see, more than 85% of all Filipinos are devout Roman Catholic. Even my family was Catholic before. However, God sent a special messenger. Back during WWII, an American G.I. was in the Philippines serving his country. However, not only was he serving his country, but he wanted to serve his Lord. He began witnessing to Filipino natives, and my grandpa was in the right place at the right time. He received Christ right then and there and later led his whole family to the Lord. I accepted Christ as my Savior and was baptized at the age of thirteen. One American missionary made a big difference in my life, and I want to do the same for other Filipino people." |

| "I, too, was blessed to be born and raised in a Godly home. I grew up in the small town of Hinton, West Virginia. It was there on Tenth Ave, that I accepted Christ in my home. After graduating from Pipestem Christian Academy in 1995, I had the opportunity to go on a summer missions trip to the Philippines, through our church. I had no idea that that trip would change my life forever. There, in the middle of all the creepy crawlies of the jungle, the Lord got a hold of my heart. It was also there that I met the love of my life, Ferd. I ended up going back 4 more times, before we moved here to work permanently in 2003. The Philippines is now my home and I look forward to spending my life here to reach the Filipino people for Christ." |

| Sean |
| In 2001, God blessed us with a healthy, happy little boy. We moved to the Philippines when Sean was only 18 months old, so this is the only home he knows. Sean loves living right on the South China sea where he gets to enjoy his favorite past time - swimming! He also loves to draw and do art work. In 2007, Sean accepted the Lord as his personal Savior and was baptized right in the ocean. As many of you know, Sean has had 2 very scary incidents happen to him here in the Philippines where we are so thankful for God's miraculous healing. Sean is such a big help to us as he helps in the Children's ministry and has a real serving spirit. |
