He came to know the Lord Jesus when he was 22 years old. At the age of 27, the Lord called him to go to the mission field. Consequently, he went to Costa Rica for a year to learn Spanish, and from there, he went to Spain. He and his wife spent 22 years in Spain sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Lord raised up a church in Galicia, and during their time there, he began producing a radio program. From Spain, the Lord called them to Tennessee, in the United States.
