Because you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life.  Isaiah 43:4

Melissa and I both arrived at college already professing personal faith in Jesus Christ. We attended different schools, but were both impacted in deep ways by the Bible studies and personal discipleship we encountered as students through The Navigators.

After getting married and working other jobs for two years, we knew that God was calling us into full-time ministry with The Navigators. We served at Colorado State University for five years, and then moved to the University of Florida in August of 2006.

We are the campus directors here and are responsible to train the other five staff members that are a part of our team. We love spending time investing in them and their future ministries, as well as the time we are able to spend with the students in our own ministry. It has been exciting to see our students reaching out to their friends, to read the Bible together, and discuss the Truth of the Gospel.

We are trusting God to use us to multiply laborers who have the heart, skill, and vision to advance the Gospel at the University of Florida. We pray that God will use us to train up laborers and mobilize the Gospel to the campus, community, state, and to the ends of the earth.
