I have been a Christian since Easter ‘79.  I exited the military and my dream of being a Navy Seal to enter Bible college.  I studied missions at International Crusades (now International Teams) in Prospect Hgts, IL.  While I lived in Chicago I worked with inner city kids in Cabrini Green.  I signed up to go on a short term missions team to Banff, but God had a better plan.  It seemed there was not enough interest in the Banff team and God let me to join a team going to Prince Edward Is, Canada.  In 1980, God reveled to me that I would not marry an American, I met my now wife Jackie on that team.  In August ‘82 I attended Western Bible College(now Colorado Christian) studying Youth Ministry in Denver, but due to an overcommitment, working full time as a drug and alcohol counselor at a local boy’s group home, I had to withdraw I am currently enrolled in college and studying Information Systems. I would like to get enough experience and then retire to serve God at JAAR’s. JAAR’s provides technical assistance to Wycliffe Bible Translators.
