I was raised in a Christian home, therefore I am grateful that I was saved and baptized at a young age. My parents always attended good sound churches. While in the navy, I felt the Lord leading me into full time Christian service. After my five years of military service, we (Linda and I) attended Maranatha Baptist Bible College (www.mbbc.edu), from where I graduated in 1984. With a mission board's help (Baptist World Mission), we came to Italy in June 1987 as church planters, where we have enjoyed living and ministering where the Lord would have us.
Linda
I thought I was saved as a young girl, but while attending evangelistic meetings, I was saved at the age of 21. Kieth and I lived in Italy for two years while he was in the navy, and it was while we were there that Kieth felt the Lord leading us to return as missionaries. We attended Bible college, where I graduated in 1985. We love living in Italy, serving the Lord as we labor to start a church.
David
I was saved as a child (8 years old) and baptized in 1998. I am attending Maranatha Baptist Bible College to become a missionary and return to Italy. I'm finishing my sophomore year. This summer, I will be traveling as an evangelist with Neighborhood Bible Time.
Paul
I was saved when I was young, and was then baptized in 1999. I am also attending Maranatha Baptist Bible College. I am finishing my freshman year. This summer, I will be a counselor at Camp CoBeAc, in Michigan. After finishing college, I know that the Lord wants me in "full time" Christian service.
