About Me

My photo
Keller, TX, United States
I grew up on a farm in Indiana, attended Purdue and Concordia Universities (undergraduate and graduate, respectively), served in the Peace Corps in Ecuador, and as a missionary with LCMS World Mission for 20 years in Thailand (15) and Guatemala (5). More recently, I've attained teacher certifications (Bilingual and Regular Ed Generalist EC-6, Bilingual and Regular Ed Generalist 4-8, and ESL). My heart is still in that of being a missionary and my first full-time post as an elementary/middle school teacher is that of English Language Specialist at Buena Vista International School (BCIS) in Shenzhen, China on the mainland just across the border from Hong Kong. I teach ESL to all grades at this new school under Lutheran Church-Hong Kong Synod. The school is not a part of the LCMS though the school has been granted LCMS World Mission educational consultants and an interim principal for its first year of operation.

    This is my God-son, Waan, in whom I am well pleased!

    Thank you, Lord Jesus, for him... for leading him into a love relationship with You and for placing a hedge around his life and for using him for Your Kingdom purposes in Thailand!

    Lord, You have set him apart since his childhood in the countryside of Thailand where he lived in poverty and amidst a completely pagan family and neighborhood. While he spent summers at Buddhist temples because his family was too poor to care for him, you were already at work in his heart teaching him many things about life. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for putting your mark on him and for calling him out of darkness and into Your marvelous light. Thank you also for using him for blessing in Thailand. Continue to walk with him and give him success in everything he does. Pave the way before him and make his way straight always.
    Amen.

    I can tell you are so proud. I am happy you see some of the fruit of you labor. May Jesus continue to use you to be a mighty witness for Him.
