Greg

Picture
I grew up in Hudsonville, Michigan in a Christian home, but I didn’t come to Christ until I was in high school.  Once I became a Christian I was still floundering in my faith until my youth pastor, Jim, began discipling me.  For over three years Jim regularly met with me.  He taught me how to study the Bible and shared the importance of devoting my whole life to serve God, and it is because of that discipleship and education that I am serving in full-time ministry today.  I went to college at Cedarville University where I majored in Bible with a minor in Missions.  Rachel and I then served for three years in China as English teachers and then for six years in pastoral ministry in Chinese-American churches.  I completed my Master of Divinity degree in 2014, Master of Theology degree in 2016, and am now pursuing a PhD.  I've been serving as an administrator and Old Testament professor at Asia Biblical Theological Seminary since 2017. I'm grateful for the discipleship and education God has blessed me with, so I can fulfill God’s calling on my life to train leaders in Asia.

Rachel

I grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and became a Christian at a young age.  Throughout my middle school and high school years I had some amazing Christian teachers and youth group leaders who spent time pouring into me on a weekly basis, strengthening my faith,and developing my leadership abilities.  This discipleship proved to be extremely important because when I was sixteen my family was in a car accident in which I received a spinal cord injury and my younger sister died. Just a few years later my mom passed away from cancer.  Through these trials I didn’t turn away from God because I had been given a firm foundation.  I went to college at Cedarville University where I majored in Communications and Bible with a minor in Women’s Ministries.  It has been a privilege to serve alongside Greg in full-time ministry.  I have a heart for youth and children's ministry. I especially enjoy counseling young women.
