Isaiah's reply to God's question of "Who will go for us?" has always been an important question for me. My hearts desire is to be as faithful as Isaiah and always reply "here am I Lord send me." This desire has stuck with me since God called me to preach and also for the past 15 years as I've served the Lord in missions.
My family and I have been serving the Lord in missions since April of 1994, ten of those years we spent in the country of Romania. We were able to be a part of a ministry with 7 other families and saw God do great thing among the Turkish people of Romania and Bulgaria.Thousands of Turks have been saved over the years there and we are so thankful that God allowed us to part of that work.
In 2004 God began to work in our lives to get us back on this side of the world and we thought for awhile that we might pursue a work in the states. We could not receive any peace from God about this and God soon began directing us back into foreign mission work. At our mission boards annual conference we were earnestly seeking God to guide us exactly where he would want us and I am thankful to say that God is faithful. As our field director for the West Indies began sharing, God began working on my heart and then Brother Nye made this statement, "right now in the West Indies we have 12 missionaries, we could use 212". When he said that the Holy Ghost settled it in my heart and my only reply was " here am I Lord,send me.
With 40 million people and thousands of islands in the West Indies our next step was where. God has been faithful and led us to the island of Bequia in the St. Vincent and Grenadine Islands. We believe this is where God would have us serve Him. Bequia is a small island of around 5000 people with no Independent Bible believing church outside of our church Gospel Light Baptist Church. The people have plenty of religion it is our desire to give them the truth.
My family and I are sent out of Love Valley Baptist Church in Kings Mountain, NC. Our pastor is Brother Barry Philbeck. We are with Macedonia World Baptist Missions and are Independent Fundamental Baptist in our faith and doctrine. We do not believe in or support the Charismatic movement or Ecumenicalism and we also oppose Neo-Evangelicalism. We believe in being sperated from the world and that the King James Bible is the bible for English speaking people. It is our only bible in practice and study.
I have been blessed with a wonderful wife Tracy to whom I've been married almost 23 years. We have 6 children, four are here on the field with us and 2 are living in the states. Brittany our oldest is married to Michael Lindsay the youth leader at our home church and has blessed us with our grandson Ethan and will soon be blessing us wit

h a new grandchild in November. Lindsay our second is married to Jeffrey Perry son of missionary church planter Jeff Perry and is currently with her husband in Wyoming. Mckenzie, Zackary, Riley and Kylie are with us here on Bequia. In closing I want to thank God for my wife and children. They've always been faithful to God and followed the His leadership on my life and theirs. God has really blessed me. God bless you all.
