What We’re Doing Now
We are members of EPC World Outreach (WO), whose particular focus is people groups who are unreached or least-reached by the gospel.
Within WO, Benj serves with the International Theological Education Network (ITEN). ITEN’s mission is to train pastors and church leaders among those who are least reached with the gospel. In addition to pastoring a local church, Benj teaches and supervises research internationally. Since 2022 he has taught in hybrid format (online and face to face) for a seminary in South Asia (name withheld for security reasons). He serves the graduate program in Old Testament, training church leaders for pastoring and teaching at their own churches and training institutes.
With ITEN, he will continue with the seminary, and serve/develop ITEN’s partnerships in South and Southeast Asia, making regular teaching trips and developing curriculum with local partners.
Corrie has a full-time teaching job and does not have a WO assignment at this time, but will be part of the WO team and may be involved in short-term trips to do music or teaching ministry.
We are actively seeking churches, individuals and families to partner with us financially in this mission. For more info on how to contribute, click here.
In addition to World Outreach service: Benj currently serves as transitional pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Erie, PA. Corrie is now a full-time teacher at Grove City Christian Academy, where our kids attend school.
What We Used to Do
From 2014 to 2022, we served at LCC International University, a Christian liberal arts university located on the coast of the Baltic Sea in western Lithuania. We were funded by churches and individual donors in the USA and Canada.
Benj served as a member of the faculty of LCC, teaching mainly courses in Old Testament and biblical languages. He blogs at thinkhardthinkwell.com, where you can also find links to his scholarly articles, books, and presentations.
Corrie, in addition to serving as a full-time mom, mentored students through various extracurricular programs at LCC, led a choir, taught piano lessons, and taught in the evening English programs. She holds bachelor’s degrees in both biblical studies and music education, and earned a master’s degree in TESOL at LCC.
