My wife, S, and I were raised in two countries that are culturally very different from each other, but we both knew that God had called us to go to Eastern Europe to reach out to the unreached and tell them about God.

Side by side with the local church, we work with students who come from all over the world to study in Eastern Europe. Right now there are more than 5,000 students from more than 40 countries in our ministry area. Most of them come from Arabic or African countries.

We joined SEND International in 2017, and in 2015 we joined SEND's German partner organization VDM e.V. After a period of raising support, we did a pastoral internship in the United States in the beautiful city of La Grange, Texas. After that, we spent about half a year back in Germany to raise more support. In 2018, we moved to Central Russia for A to study Russian at the University. (S already knows Russian.)

We are also involved in ongoing camp ministries and adventure trips with different kinds of young people.
