Our vision

To develop leaders in Christ's service anywhere in the world through foundational discipleship tools and sound Biblical teaching

With our years of experience in evangelism, discipleship, teaching and training, we plan to spend significant periods of time (1 to 3 months—or more!) with the many contacts we have made across the globe. We offer discipleship training both to enhance the ministry of those pastors, cross-cultural laborers and students we have met, and to build into the lives of those they are serving. We have opportunities to serve Christian schools and invitations to provide staff- and shepherd-development training. We also have a burden to encourage the Church in the US and abroad to get more "Great Commissional" in life and purpose. We want to serve wherever there is both need and hunger—and an open door!

A little about us

For more than 30 years, we have served the Lord in east Asia, the Dominican Republic and eastern Iowa.  Over the years, our ministry has focused on evangelism, establishing new believers, and discipling them as leaders in ministry.  It has expanded to preaching and pastoring.  We have always been about "reaping and training reapers."  We desire to serve a broader base, offering further training to friends and contacts in all parts of the world, including Europe, East Asia, South Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.
