The idea that I needed to write my story came after we found out some interesting things about my wife's grandparents and things about my dad's family. We had a great source of information while they were alive; however, we didn't take advantage of that opportunity. Now that source of information is gone; it cannot be retrieved. It is hoped that my story will be preserved for future generations. I have made no attempt to include everything about my childhood, the experiences on the mission field, or events later in my life. This is an attempt to give an overview of my life and ministry. It is an effort to give a "why", "how", and "where." I would hope that this book will preserve my story, before it is lost for future generations, "It is no secret what God can do!"
