BIG UPDATE INSIDE!
Over the past 6 years, Kristi and I have devoted our lives to overseas ministry. We have served in both North Africa and more recently Italy. We have been pastors, children’s workers, admins, evangelists, translators, immigration “experts,” tour guides, and tourists. We have seen lives transformed, souls saved, and most importantly we have shared the gospel in places of the world where access is limited.
We have learned that life as missionaries can often feel as if you are in constant change without ever stopping to get your footing. You often find yourself asking questions to your spouse about daily life that you never thought you would, like “can we fit this in a bin?” This typically meant are we able to bring this back with us to the USA or can we bring this Overseas with us. We found ourselves in a mentality of “flexing and flowing” throughout just about every aspect and detail of our lives. And to be honest, it was only possible through the power of the Holy Spirt. Often times in our lives it can be easy to look at situations and circumstances through a negative lens, but through the power of the Holy Spirit we are able to chose to see things differently.
“12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
Philippians 4:12-13 NIV
Next Steps:
Over this past assignment in Italy, we found ourselves loving every minute of the work God had called us to do; however, we began to sense the Lord shifting us into a new season. We fasted and prayed to seek where the Lord was leading. We knew that we were called to missions from a young age, but felt the Lord shifting how that looked for this season of our lives. We are all called to spread the gospel to all nations, but the way we do so can change.
“29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.”
Romans 10:29 NIV
As we started to explore all of the options the Lord placed in front of us, we felt a peace about one in particular:
We are excited to announce that Pastor Stephen has accepted a position at Brightmoor Christian Church in Novi Michigan. He is the new Assistant Missions Pastor & Accounts Coordinator! We know that the Lord has called us back to our home for a purpose and that He will use us here to further His kingdom.
All this being said, we are resigning from Assemblies of God World Missions (AGWM) starting June 30th.

Thank You!
Thank you all for your Prayers and Support of our family! Without you, we would not have been able to do what the Lord commissioned us to do. We have been so grateful for the opportunity to share the gospel in places around that world where access is scarce. We have touched countless lives seen the Lord’s hand over the people and places we have been blessed to minster. We love each and every one of you and look forward to connecting stateside!
