Summary
My wife of 42 years and I have successfully owned and operated over ten businesses and raised 4 children and now have 3 grandkids. We met and were married at the Wichita Christian Center in Wichita Kansas while I was attending Bible College at Friends University. We have always worked together as a team and have now decided to turn back to our “First Love” in Christ and dedicate our extensive experience, credentials and knowledge to a Christian Ministry. We have always had a very pronounced and strong Gift of Hospitality and a heart to serve others, because it truly is better to give than to receive! We saw this opportunity and it seems like it might be the perfect fit for us!
