Ministry:
Rhonda and I have worked on the field in New Zealand for the past seventeen years. During this time we have watched our three daughters grow up and return to the States leaving us once again as a couple. Over the years we have seen souls saved, lives changed, and families transformed.
The first work in which we were involved was in thecity of Auckland. This church today has its own pastor and a lovely building, and is going on into the future. It has become the dream of every missionary - a self-sufficient national work.
In 1984 we moved to the capital city of New Zealand, Wellington. The work here has been much slower for several reasons. People in our area are more transient than Auckland; many are government workers. Our particular area in which we work (on the west side of the city) is considered to be the most intellectual electorate in the country.
This tends to make the people more pessimistic and cynical about religion. However, against this backdrop God has continued to save souls and change lives. We are presently praying that God will provide a national pastor for our group, that we may continue on to our next work for the Lord here in New Zealand.
Prayer Requests:
1. Youth Club continued growth and effectiveness.
2. Salvation of Moslem children attending the Youth Club.
