All of our daughters have married into wonderful, God-fearing, God-loving families that have carried and are carrying the torch for Jesus Christ in service for our Savior. What a heritage our 16 grandchildren have been given! We are proud to say that we serve on the same team with these amazing servants of God. It is with great pleasure that we can introduce you to our sons-in-law, their parents and siblings. We want everyone to know that a Christian heritage CAN be passed on! Children don’t have to be lost to the world and its philosophies. Families CAN carry the Gospel to future generations; and fundamental values and principles work!
We will use this site to try to keep you all posted on the on-going work and ministries of God.
