Kevin and Julie
Kevin & Julie grew up in the midwest and met at the University of Michigan. They left their jobs as a Mechanical Engineer and a nurse to go into full time ministry. God gave them a heart for those who have never had a chance to hear the gospel. They have been blessed to pursue that call ever since.
They first visited F.O.R. in 1999 because they lived in the neighborhood, but have come to appreciate the Bible-based preaching, the heart-felt worship, and the emphasis on missions at F.O.R.
Bob and Diane
Dr. Bob and Diane have been married for 33 years; have three children and five grandchildren, all active in churches. For the past 15 years, Bob and Diane have led over 30 short-term portable dental missions in 25 different countries, utilizing 15 different Christian organizations.
Dr. (Colonel) Bob retired after a 32 year career in the Army and has been in private dental practice for the last 11 years. Bob became extensively involved with portable dental equipment as commander of the world’s only airborne dental unit responsible for deploying portable dental teams wherever the military was sent. Bob also directed the Army’s Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency program, where he prepared young dentists to function independently and competently, in often austere settings, which also helped set the stage for dental mission work.
Diane has worked as a Registered Nurse, an elementary school educator, and has raised a family while moving a dozen different times as an Army spouse. Diane has had a compassion for missionary work since she was a small child, and is now using her nursing and teaching background/experience on the dental mission field to help others.
