And Jesus spoke a parable, saying, “Behold a sower went forth to sow; and when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side… some fell upon stony places… some fell among thorns…. but others fell upon good ground and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold.” Luke 8:5

I got saved in a little city Church in Bellevue Nebraska in 1978 when I was 19-years-old. The following year, I took a short-term mission trip to Kenya that would change my life. It was to last one month but God so changed my heart by what I encountered that I extended it to four months. Roughing it in the “bush” country without electricity or running water taught me to depend entirely upon God. I spent my time teaching and preaching in churches and markets, digging the foundation for a hospital clinic and witnessed many souls come to Christ before returning home. In 1985 – 1989 I was to go again. This time as a full-time, independent, self-supporting missionary. There I met and teamed up with three young Kenyans, John Odhiambo, George Odhiambo and Byrum Nyongeza. Together we took the Gospel of Jesus Christ through drama, worship and preaching into more than 80 primary schools. At the end of that time, I came back to Nebraska to pioneer an Assemblies of God Church in Plattsmouth Nebraska.

30 years went by. I had lost contact with my former colleagues. Surprisingly, one day John showed up on Facebook and invited me to come back to Kenya. When I arrived, I was overwhelmed with what God had done. There was a harvest almost beyond belief. The seeds I had planted had fallen upon good ground. All three of these men had matured into Bishops, raised disciples and were caring for more than 50 churches under their leadership.”

Now, while I live and work in Nebraska as a carpenter, I regularly return to Kenya for short-term mission trips to assist in reaching the lost and starting more churches. I have three wonderful children, Grace, Stephanie and Sam and seven grandchildren.
