Bill and Elizabeth have been serving the Lord as full-time faith missionaries since 1996. They married in 1980 and are blessed with four married children and spouses who are all believers, and committed to raising ten grandchildren in the faith.
Gods irrevocable calling for them is to reach the lost, preach the good news and teach believers the full counsel of God, as written in Genesis through Revelation. Their current missionary work is in Navajo County Arizona, reaching individuals and families who live a reclusive life and are often drug and/or alcohol addicted. This focus allows them to do Jail ministry as well. There is great need here, as Mormon is the predominant religion, and also a large population of Native Americans!
They trust and know the Holy Spirit is who empowers and keeps them faithful in proclaiming their uncompromising love for Jesus, one another and the Bible. “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35) NKJV
Hearing from God and obediently following Him is crucial and God has continually opened doors for them to reach and serve people through the ministries of evangelism, discipleship and as pastor. Their previous missionary work has included Vietnam, Brazil, Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, AZ, Del Pueblo Fellowship AZ, Pastoral Care with Commission To Every Nation and as (CTEN) Executive Director.
Their Biblical education has come through Moody Bible Institute and Liberty University School of Divinity..Bill holds a Ministerial Ordination with Commission Ministers Network..
Prior to their transition into full-time ministry in 1996, Bill was in marketing and management and Elizabeth was an Architect. They considered this work as their first mission field of service and found opportunity to share how true freedom in their lives came by the transforming power of Christ. “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32) NKJV
