Help Me
Keep Up.
God is doing all the work. I’m just trying to keep up. I’m preparing to return to full-time work with Latin American Missions in 2027—and I’m inviting you to help make that possible.
If you’re here because we’ve served together, you’ve already seen this work firsthand. You know what happens when willing people place themselves in God’s hands.
A personal word
Why I’m returning full-time
For 17 years, Latin American Missions has been the work at the center of my life—most of that time, full-time.
When COVID brought our campaigns to a halt for roughly two and a half years, it also brought real uncertainty about what international mission work would look like afterward. At the same time, families and congregations were facing their own financial pressures.
Rather than aggressively fundraise in that season, I moved to part-time work with LAM and started a small business to supplement my income. The business has succeeded, and I could make considerably more by giving it my full attention.
But the mission work has continued to grow. I have decided that beginning in 2027, I want to give it my full attention again.
God is doing all the work.
I’m just trying to keep up.
Beyond the campaign week
The Work Is More Than Campaigns
The week a team spends on the field is only the most visible part of the work.
In Honduras and Peru, we are developing local Christian leadership teams that can carry the work forward year after year. The goal is not simply to conduct another annual campaign. It is to strengthen Christians and congregations that will continue serving long after the North American team leaves.
This is a multi-year effort. It has already produced meaningful results, and there are still many important milestones ahead.
The Bible School of the Americas has been part of my life since childhood, when my father served as its director. Today, my responsibilities include recruiting students and raising support for what I believe is one of the best preaching schools in our brotherhood. It’s a personal connection to the school’s past—and an opportunity to help prepare its next generation of preachers.

Why full-time matters
More time for the work that lasts
Returning full-time is not simply about leading more trips. It means having the time to prepare well, develop people, strengthen the infrastructure behind every campaign, and follow through after the team comes home.
Develop and Train Local Leaders
Invest in Christians who are organizing, teaching, following up, and strengthening congregations. Recruit students and raise support for their training at the Bible School of the Americas.
Build what sustains the work
Improve LAM’s website, digital tools, campaign systems, communication, and the infrastructure that helps teams serve effectively.
