After a short service in the Army, John married Sandra Stoddard; and they were blessed with three daughters. Soon after their third daughter was born, John found a Gospel of John at a check stand in the grocery store where he worked. He took it home, read it, and gave his life to Jesus. Days later, he and Sandie shared with each other they had both surrendered their lives to Christ within days of each other! Several years passed, John and Sandie went to seminary for a year, packed up their three girls and went to Africa. They served a four year term, of which included one year in Switzerland to learn the French language. John also served on two church planting teams, one before his time in Africa and one after.
Since John’s encounter with Jesus, his passion is to “be excited about Jesus”! It is his greatest desire to ignite this passion in other believers.
John and Sandie are retired and have ten grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren to keep them busy. They currently reside in the foothills of Northern California.view less
