Gary grew up on a farm in Wyoming.  God directed him toward pastoral ministry when he was in junior high.  He graduated from the University of Wyoming, farmed for 5 years and then went on to Columbia Biblical Seminary, receiving his Masters of Divinity.  There he met Judi.  Judi had graduated from Gwynedd Mercy College in Pennsylvania (her home state) with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.  Not being content to nurse in the US, she also travelled to Columbia Biblical Seminary to obtain a Bible certificate to allow her to nurse overseas as a missionary.  While there, she decided to work on a Master of Arts in Christian Education with a cross cultural emphasis and a counseling certificate!  After graduating, Gary and Judi were married in 1990.  They waited on the Lord for three years for the right place to minister.  In 1993, they joined Village Missions and headed for their first mission field in Burlington, Maine.  After serving there almost 7 years, the Lord led them to Star, Colorado.  They served there for almost 12 years.  Sensing that God was leading them out of pastoral ministry to the ministry of caring for aging parents, they moved to Wyoming in 2011. Our beloved friend and servant Gary passed away and has gone to be with our King!

As Director of Pastoral Support, Judi handles all the comings and goings of our Wyoming property.  She focus on the the health of pastors through personal contact and a willingness to listen and pray for any pastor in need.
