Jeff and Diane started their ministry in downtown Jacksonville, Florida ministering and feeding over 200 men, women and children daily. They saw first hand how God moved upon the hearts of many with little hope. Four years later they were ordained as Deacons in their local church. While serving as Deacons for 6 years God slowly gave them a vision for the hopeless living in foreign lands. After a short term mission trip to Zimbabwe, Africa they knew God had called them to this continent. They joined Calvary International, headquartered in Jacksonville and completed training in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Shortly after Jeff was struck down with acute pancretitus and evacuated to UK. After 3 1/2 months in the hospital, 2 surgeries and much prayer Jeff was released to recover in the beautiful areas of England. God had spared his life and he and his wife Diane are now serving in Tanzania, East Africa. After 4 months they have acquired a small orphanage in Moshi and are also working with Calvarys team planting churches among the unreached peoples of Tanzania.
