Following a mission trip to Ireland in 2018, I fell under increasing conviction to return as a Missionary. After much prayer and counseling from my Pastor, I surrendered to God's call and my wife Cindy and I attended Candidate School in June of 2019. We began deputation in July and, by the grace of God, finished raising our support in August of 2023. Our Minister of religion visas were approved by the Irish government in January of 2024, and we have served in the Bible Baptist Church of Ballincollig since March 7th, 2024. We have been blessed to take part in a variety of ministries, including street ministry, door-to-door soulwinning, and the Summer Bible Club for children. We were also asked to establish the College & Career Young Adults Group to encourage and equip them for ministry in the modern world. Cindy founded the Healing Hearts group for ladies who have suffered some type of untimely loss, such as a husband or child, or severe emotional trauma. It is a ministry that is sorely needed here. I have been blessed to fill the Associate Pastor role and do quite a bit of pulpit supply for fellow missionaries who are on furlough or sick, and was greatly blessed with the opportunity to preach an evangelistic meeting in Northern Ireland. Recently, I have also been assisting with our "Twelve Weeks To Freedom" ministry to the addicted. Our ministry goal remains the same as it has always been, to plant a King James Bible-believing Baptist church somewhere on this island, in the time and place of God's choosing. We have four children and twelve grandchildren.
