We are Christian missionaries in Suriname. We are working with the Saramaccans in the jungle of Suriname in South America. We are going to be here for two to three years helping with humanitarian efforts and planting churches. Check out the links to the right to learn more.

Be sure to check for updates below. We will keep you posted on any changes like new videos, pictures, prayer requests, or anything exciting that happens. We will keep it updated as often as we can, so come back and check on us.

We are now home. We finished our two year term with a three-month extension. A young boy in the village was saved shortly before we left. He is now the one taking the lead when they meet together on Sundays. They listen to an audio Bible, talk about the story, and sing -- without us being there. Also, there are other people from our home church planning to move to Suriname to work with the Saramaccans. There is a family and a single guy in training right now. Our home church has also made a bigger commitment to reach the Saramaccans for Christ. They will be sending more trips each year as well as supporting two new missionary units. We are excited to see what happens with the future ministry with the Saramaccans.

We are missing the people we have worked with over the last couple of years, but we are happy to be home. Lydia's grandparents are even happier. Thanks to all who supported us over the last few years. We could not have done it without you. Thank you for serving along side us.
