Carl and Lori both grew up in central Michigan, moved to Grand Rapids for college, and were married in 1979. Carl was an associate pastor for 10 years before the Lord led them in 1995 to move to Far East Russia for a one-year, short-term assignment with SEND. Upon returning to Michigan, Carl was asked by SEND to serve as HarvesTime Response Director from 1996 to 2000. Since 2000, Carl has served as Eurasia Regional Director, overseeing SEND’s work in Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. Lori serves alongside Carl, has a passion for discipling women toward loving God and His Word, and helps lead worship times at various meetings. God has blessed them with three daughters and sons-in-law, plus 12 grandchildren.
