This is a story of the struggels and joys of a son of blue collar workers, who went from life in a small town in Minnesota to the mission fields of Japan and Russia.
While in college he met and married, Carol, and by the time he graduated with a B.A they had two daughters. After three years of graduate school he became a pastor in Appalachian Mountains in Virginia.
However, his great desire was to be a missionary to a foreign country. In 1964 the Church of God, Anderson, Indiana commissioned them as missionaries to Japan. where they served for 31 years. Being just short of retirement, the Church of God Mission Board requested that they go to Russia for a year.
Upon retiring they settled in Vancouver, Washington, close to family, and he became the pastor to seniors for the Vancouver First Church of God, serving in this capacity for ten years. His great joy in retirement is teaching his great-grandchildren to ski and play tennis.
