Timothy  grew up in Arizona and began his work in Africa in 1998.  Since then he has traveled across Africa seventeen times, covering more than 144,000 miles by road (and those are African miles) and an inestimable amount by air.  He’s made many dear friends throughout the continent, and has been able to minister in places where the Gospel has never before been heard.  He has worked in many African countries including South Africa, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Sudan.  As an ITMI missionary partnering with Frontline Fellowship, he’s delivered over 28,000 Bibles in many different languages, some of them to villages that only had one or maybe even a small portion of a Bible until then.  Often these Bibles had to be taken through hostile borders where their discovery would have meant imprisonment or worse.  Through distribution, training, and personal evangelism he has taken over 353,000 tracts and Gospel booklets into Africa.  He has had the privilege to work with many incredible, godly people in the field, some of whom walk many, many miles to carry out evangelism and minister to God’s people, often in a variety of languages!

Over the years, Timothy became more and more involved in leadership training.  Through preaching, teaching, leadership conferences, and discipleship opportunities, he began to teach leadership skills, Biblical principles, and much needed practical application techniques to pastors and teachers throughout Africa.

“One of the most rewarding aspects of being a missionary over the last 10 years is seeing the growth in the people we worked with.  It’s amazing to see people who were brought to the Lord as young men becoming ministers and evangelists.  Seeing people take the lessons that they’ve learned and multiply them by teaching others shows me how the Lord can effectively use His people in Africa.”

Ashley first experienced Africa in 2001 as a short term missionary in Botswana.  She returned for full time missions training in 2006.  While training at Frontline Fellowship in Cape Town, South Africa she met Timothy.  They were married May 5th, 2007.  Ashley enjoys the work of a missionary wife and mother.

Frederick was born in good health on Monday, December 28th, 2009.  He continues to eat, sleep and pack diapers.  He also makes sure that mommy and daddy never get too much sleep.
