| Steve & Sherre at the Missionary Training Center |
We're from an small church in southern California where there was great teaching & emphasis on personal spiritual growth but very little on outreach. The Lord gradually opened our eyes to the fact that there are many who don't know Him - and it is our job to make Him known! In 1981 we visited the NTM training center in Missouri and learned of NTM's ministry of establishing churches in people groups where the gospel had never penetrated. We were struck by the huge need and the small number of God's people involved in meeting this need, and within about a week we were convinced this was where God wanted us.
We entered NTM's training in January 1982 and have served with NTM ever since. We were challenged by the needs in Bolivia while in training and planned to go there, but were asked to serve in the pre-field training.
We agreed and moved into the ministry of NTM's Language Institute in Missouri. We haved served in various roles here until the Language Institute and the Missions Institutes joined in the integrated training program now known as NTM's Missionary Training Center.
Our older son Chris lives with his wife Nikki in Knoxville, where they're busy raising our six grandkids.
Our younger son in Terry just received his Masters degree in Public Health and is looking for work in that field.
