About

Summary

I grew up in a ministry home with an incredibly strong Christian heritage. Born in Hong Kong to missionary parents, I have also lived in Kenya, East Africa, and various cities across Canada and the United States. This migrant living has served well to prepare me for the various transitions in my personal ministry. I have learned to grow roots wherever God has located me. I have learned to adapt to the various regional cultures that exist throughout North America.

Ratz FamilyJoanna and I have been married since June 1989. We have three great children (and one who married in) who are all serving God and pursuing His will for their life. Since entering full time ministry, we have lived in Western Canada, the US Midwest and US Northeast regions. Amidst the changes and travels, the Call to Ministry has always remained strong.
