Florida and the U.S.Traveling is our main calling. Since 2013 God has been increasing our travels. Going from church to church, we encourage believers and help strengthen ministries. It's always exciting to bring a fresh revelation of God's love everywhere we go.
When home in Florida, we serve local churches, helping to strengthen their leadership and congregation. We assist with Sunday services, providing teachings on love, finances, healing, faith, grace, righteousness, prayer, and worship. |
Slovenia2003 was the year we led an emphasis on praying for the nations, specifically the unevangelized countries. God arranged for Dan to pray over the country of Slovenia. Over the next 10 years, the desire grew to one day visit Slovenia.
We decided to visit Slovenia on our way to Turkey in 2014. Dan found a contact through the internet and everything was arranged for a four-day visit. Those four days planted a love for Slovenia in our hearts. In time, that love grew to include the entire Balkan region. We now have resident permits for Slovenia that allow us to be present longer in the country. With Slovenia as a base, we travel throughout the Balkans assisting over 70 churches, numerous pastors, multiple home groups, and many leaders to build up the body of Christ. Our projects include continued support of the churches and home group leaders through teaching and financial assistance. Book translating and printing is ongoing and we are developing an online Bible training program. |
SerbiaOur ministry in Serbia began in 2017. We were invited to minister at a church in Novi Sad that Spring. We returned later that year and twice more in 2018.
Since then we have spent even more time each year in Serbia. Every trip brings new friendships at new churches. We have fallen in love with the people. Their sincere desire to know God is infectious. We continue to work with the churches, establishing relationships, and helping to train believers. Our goal is to increase financial support for the pastors and translators. |
TurkeyOur first trip to Turkey was in 2002, nine months after the 9/11 attack. On that trip to Istanbul, we worked closely with Larry and Kay Mills, missionaries to Turkey from the US. We have known the Mills since 1992. We also met Corey and Rose Erman, the pastors of River Istanbul Church.
We have been back to Turkey 6 times since 2002. Each time we were ministering with Larry and Kay at their Holy Spirit Conference. Like much of eastern Europe, there are very few Christians. It is exciting to play a part in reaching the lost and training the saints in these unreached nations. |

Macedonia
2020 was the first year we went to Macedonia. Since that time, our ministry there has exploded. We have had amazing opportunities to teach and minister. We are continually increasing our financial support to that region and looking for every opportunity to provide books and training material. |
Kosovo and Albania
Our ministry to these countries began in 2021. We currently work with a number of churches, providing teaching, books and financial support. Each week we conduct Healing School in English and Albanian through ZOOM. Anyone can join through this link. |
