After a full career in teaching and other positions, Dave trained for ministry.  God opened the doors for him to serve as a chaplain at DRDC in Denver, CO.  He had volunteered there for 7 years at the time of his death.  He also served officers with the CO State Patrol and had begun work with Parker Police.

Pam worked in education, teaching for 21 years and went on to tutor full time for the 20 years until her death in 2026.  She enjoyed mentoring her students through the difficult years of adolescence.

When Dave and Pam prayed with their team to serve in international missions in 2009, they never dreamed where God would take their lives!  Once they connected with Josue and his ministry in Benin, it was very apparent that God had big plans for their involvement.  They were blessed beyond measure to develop friendships there and support all of Josue's efforts in his ministry! They witnessed much fruit from their joint labors.

They had no way of knowing that Dave's accident in Benin would lead to his death.  Pam remained inspired to serve where God called, and continued to serve the ministry right up until God called her home!  

It is never too late in life to be called by the Lord to do great things for the Kingdom!
