Having the privilege of growing up in a Christian home and accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour at age six, John was greatly influenced by the many missionaries that regularly visited his church. After entering college with the goal of becoming a civil engineer, the Lord used a summer missionary experience to challenge John for the ministry. In July of 1969, John and his wife Merrianna were accepted for missionary service in Brazil. During a ministry that spanned twenty-four years, they were involved in both church planting and the training of national workers.
In 1993 John accepted the invitation to become director of Open Door Baptist Missions. Besides administrative responsibilities, he has had the opportunity to visit numerous mission fields and to represent the mission in churches, Christian colleges and conferences. His desire is to challenge God's people regarding missions, as well as to encourage and assist those who are serving on the field.
