40 Years of Grace
My Birthday Personal Message to You!
Sowing Into the Next Season

Dear friends,

Today I turn 40, and I’ve been thinking about where this journey began.

🎉 When I was just 15 years old, I began serving in a local church in Washington State. Little did I know that those early steps of faith and a simple YES to God would shape the next 25 years of my life! Looking back today, my heart is overflowing with gratitude to my parents, pastors and everyone who was part of my life. I'm thankful to my parents, pastors and to you for being a part of my life.

For the past 14 years, I've had the incredible privilege of serving the Lord in full-time ministry through Solid Rock Mission. It started with SMBS and continued with GoToNations.

Through Solid Rock Mission, we’ve seen children encounter His love, families receive help during some of their hardest days, and young people grow into disciples and leaders who carry the Gospel to their generation.

There have also been difficult seasons. We’ve faced challenges, made sacrifices, and learned to depend on God when we couldn’t see what was ahead.

Through your prayers, support and God's faithfulness we stand strong and committed the calling God placed on our lives.

One of His greatest gifts has been Julia and our three children. Today, we share this calling as a family.

God has given me the opportunity to travel and minister in more than 30 countries. Here are just a few pictures from those journeys.

🎁 My Birthday Invitation
As I celebrate my 40th birthday, my deepest desire is to keep making Jesus known. I want to continue reaching children, making disciples, and equipping young people to serve God in their own communities.

And I’d love to invite you to help us continue.

Julia and I do not receive a salary from Solid Rock Mission’s general donations. We raise our own missionary support to provide for our family while we serve full time, and some of those needs are still uncovered.

For my birthday, would you consider becoming a monthly partner or giving a special gift toward our family’s missionary support!

If you feel the Lord places it on your heart to be part of this, I simply invite you to prayerfully sow whatever He leads you to give.

At 15, I said yes to God. Today, at 40, my answer is still yes. Thank you for celebrating with us.

"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9

P.S. If you’d like to hear more about our current financial needs, simply reply. I’d be glad to share with you personally.

Thank you for celebrating my birthday by investing into God’s Kingdom with us.
We love you all.
