Charles is from Sacramento and had an amazing encounter with Jesus as a teenager through the ministry of Arcade. Charles and Beverly have ministered for eight years in France and 30 years in Jordan. They have been involved in God’s work in the Arab World through church planting, refugee ministry and helping trafficked women. Four years ago, after many years of working in Jordan, the churches in France invited them to return to France to lift the name of Jesus among the growing Muslim community. They now work in France encouraging those from a Muslim background and working with discipleship programs. Their work with trafficked women and church planting continues in Jordan and the Middle East.

Charles and Bev have 4 adult children (3 are married to wonderful spouses) and 8 darling grandchildren ages 6 and under. Their children serve in health care professions in California and Oregon.
