Ministry Location: Has been Chicago region; we've just moved to the Minneapolis region &
will continue with our ministry.

Ministry Description: Equipping churches, ministries, & individuals to reach Muslims & immigrants; discipleship & Bible studies--discipling MBBs & other new believers; evangelism, especially among Muslims; teaching with Pars Theological Centre (Roy); writing resource materials & producing equipping videos.

Recent Ministry Fruit: Roy taught several discipleship courses to Iranian pastors & leaders in Europe & is seeing their spiritual maturity grow; he taught seminars to a new group ministering to Iranians in Oslo, Norway--exciting to see them learning/practicing good ministry techniques that Roy teaches; Roy's book "The Burden of Baggage" about Iranian ministry is becoming better known in missionary/ministry organizations, to equip people to minister to first generation Christians. Darla had a very fruitful teaching & music ministry in our church, teaching Bible studies & advising the worship team & playing piano each week. Both--leading & organizing the Chicago/Tri-State COMMA ministry, teaching workshops to equip others. (Plus other events & answers to prayer, as referred to in our ministry updates)

Recent Challenges: Because of a crisis in our family this year, we have moved to the Minneapolis area sooner than we had planned, to help our adult children & grandchildren. (We planned to move the end of 2024.) These past 2 months (Sept--Nov) have been a whirlwind of buying a house, getting our ILL house ready to put on the market, packing & moving. As we settle in, we need to find a "church home", visit with immigrant & Muslim ministries, & discover where God wants us to minister & use our gifts & experience. We are leaving our Chicago region ministries in the capable hands of our colleagues.
