In May of 1995 the Lord spoke to Gary telling him he was going to Russia. In May of 1998 God opened that door and
Gary along with his wife Marlene made the move to Khabvorosk, Russia in the Russian Far East. Gary and Marlene's
first three years of ministry in the Russian Far East were spent under the mentorship of veteran missionaries Joe and
Mary Purcell.
Gary and Marlene served ten years as full time resident missionaries in the Russian Far East where they traveled
extensively preaching and teaching the Word of God with three of those years pastoring.
In May of 2008 the Lord opened doors which moved Gary and Marlene out of full time ministry in Russia into ministry
in other parts of the world. Gary and Marlene are currently serving in Southeast Asia.
Gary, who by trade was an aircraft mechanic, worked in the field of aviation
for over 30 years. In November of 1989, after receiving the baptism of the
Holy Spirit, God began dealing with him about attending Bible School. In
1991 Gary along with his wife Marlene and daughter Becki made the move
from Alaska to Tulsa Oklahoma where Gary attended Rhema Bible Training
Center.
