Our Testimonies and Call to
Missions
Robert:
I was saved on March 17, 1984, in my home in Cambridge,
Ohio. It was a Tuesday evening and I was at home with my mother.
I began to ask her questions about knowing the Lord as Savior.
It was on that evening that I knelt and asked the Lord to
forgive me of my sin and to save me. I thank the Lord for His
saving grace and for the opportunity to serve Him. My salvation
is the most important decision that I have ever made in my
entire life.
During my first semester at Crown College,
the Lord called me to preach and to go to the mission field.
In 2001, I had the opportunity to take a 6-month trip to
Perú. During this trip, the Lord worked in my heart in a
mighty way and gave me a great burden for souls in Perú and
around the world. I began full-time deputation in 2005
as a single missionary. The Lord allowed me to meet my wife
that same year, and we were married in June of 2006. We
completed deputation (together--much better!), and have been
serving in Arequipa, Perú, since July of 2008.
Sara:
I accepted the Lord Jesus as my personal Savior when I was
twelve years old after a chapel message at my Christian school.
The Lord convicted my heart that I was a sinner and that I
needed Christ to save me. I am so thankful to the Lord for my
salvation and for His constant presence in my life.
God has given me a burden for Spanish-speaking people. In 2000,
I surrendered my life to go to the mission field. God led me to
Crown College in 2003, and it was there that I met Robert. We
were married on June 23, 2006. In July of 2006, we took a survey
trip to the city of Arequipa, Perú. During the trip God truly
opened my eyes and broke my heart for the people of Perú.
