We’re being sent.
After much prayer, counsel, conversation, and more than a year of wrestling with the Lord’s call, our family is beginning the process of moving to Manchester, England as missionaries.
This isn’t light for us.
Horizon Baptist Church is precious to our family. It’s where I met Amber years ago. It’s where our children have grown up. It’s where we have served, cried, laughed, preached, prayed, baptized, buried saints, welcomed new believers, and watched God work in ways we will never forget.
For more than six and a half years, Horizon has been our home. That’s the longest we’ve ever been anywhere in our lives. We love this church deeply.
Because of that, we haven’t rushed this. We’ve prayed. We’ve sought counsel from mentors. We’ve walked through this with our staff and church leaders. We’ve submitted this call to our church family. And now Horizon Baptist Church has voted to send us as missionaries to Manchester, England.
We are humbled. We are grateful.
We’re also asking you to pray for Horizon. Pray for the church as they continue the work of the ministry here in Missouri City. Pray for unity, strength, faithfulness, and joy. Pray for God to raise up their future leader in His time and in His way.
So why Manchester? Because the need is overwhelming.
Greater Manchester is filled with millions of people, and many are living without the gospel. Many have no faith. Many will never walk into a church. The needs there far outweigh our ability, but they don’t outweigh the power of Christ.
We believe God has called us to go, make disciples, share the gospel, establish healthy churches, and give our lives to the work of the Kingdom.
The hour is late. The door of eternity is nearer than it has ever been. We want to be busy with the work Jesus gave His church to do.
We want to be hundredfold disciples. We want our lives to count.
Following the call of God is a humbling thing. We know there will be difficulty. We know there will be sacrifice. We know leaving people we love will be painful. We know raising support will require faith, patience, and partnership.
But we also know the joy set before us.
Hebrews 12 says Jesus endured the cross “for the joy that was set before Him.” Our sacrifice is not His sacrifice. Our suffering is not His suffering. But as His disciples, we want to follow Him with open hands, surrendered hearts, and obedient steps.
Our prayer is to raise the support needed over this next year while our children complete one more school year here. Lord willing, we hope to be on the field by late next year.
Now we need our friends, family, churches, and ministry partners to come alongside us.
Please pray for us.
Please follow the journey.
Please consider partnering with us financially.
Please help us connect with churches that may allow us to come share the work and consider monthly support.

We love Horizon. We love the churches and friends God has placed in our lives. And we are trusting the Lord for every step ahead.
The gospel. The city. The world.
We’re being sent.
