God has burdened me with the need to reach the Central Asian peoples who are mostly nominal Muslims.  God used many short term mission trips to first open my heart to His work in the world and then in Central Asian.  My first mission trips were to Mexico while a student in College where I used the construction skills my father taught me.  In Guyana, South America I helped with vacation Bible schools.  For nearly twenty years I have been an adviser accompanying student-led Spring Break Mission trips to Mexico.  I have made nine trips to former Soviet Union countries, including five to Central Asia.   God is leading me to be a part of planting churches among the many ethnic groups in Central Asia.
