Ministry with TEAM 1968 to present
While at Columbia Bible College Graduate School of Missions (now CIU), we sensed God definitely leading us to serve with TEAM. Since then, all ministry-related decisions have been done in consulation with colleagues and TEAM administration. We have always gone where the mission has felt we could be best used to accomplish what God was doing through TEAM. The hardest decision was to leave Spain when asked if we would return to the States to assume the responsibility for our missionaries in Latin America.
