I (John) direct a humanitarian relief and development organization that works in Africa, Europe, and Asia. Our calling is to serve in the world’s impossible places. We have two grown children, Caleb and Emma. Our desire is to open doors for people to impact their world in ways and places they never thought possible. Our family is a witness to the fact that God can use unlikely candidates to impact their world.
Years ago, we were part of a ministry team living in a poor neighbourhood in Southeast Asia. It was hard but we loved it. However, when I (Caleb) was diagnosed with autism and then later I (Emma) was also diagnosed with autism, we returned to Canada concluding that the door to global service had closed. God however, led us into a new kind of mission involvement. Since 2005 we have facilitated emergency relief, development, and missions in 40 different countries.
