I can't believe it has been 30 years! I graduated from Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, Kansas with a double major - Computer Science and Mathematics. After college, I worked for one year as a Computer Engineer for a local computer company before moving to Akron, Ohio to work for Goodyear as a Computer Engineer. At that time, I began to have a desire to attend Bible school, so I moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to attend Rhema Bible Training Center. Upon graduation I worked as a Computer Engineer at Kenneth Hagin Ministries. Then I moved to Alaska to be the stateside administrator for a minister and his family who had moved to Siberia. After that I began doing missions work, which has taken me to many parts of the world – Siberia, Czech Republic, Poland and China where I currently live. I have also taken short mission trips to Peru, Australia and Egypt. I became an ordained minister in 1996. My work overseas has involved being an administrator, teaching in Bible schools and churches, co-pastoring, supporting orphans, starting a multi-media company in order to assist with the translation of a video Bible school and a video Phonics school into another language, assisting with starting a ministerial association for ministers, and assisting with the design of an Interpretation Training Program to train interpreters. While living in China I have also been teaching English at a university. I have thoroughly enjoyed traveling to/living in various countries and experiencing the uniqueness of the different cultures.
