As we enter into Passion Week before Easter, it has been encouraging to listen to Donna and Daryl's story. They took the "big leap" to start a high school ministry first in San Diego, and later in Russia with their young family. They've also experienced lean times, when following Jesus has simply been "step by step."

Still serving high school students after over 35 years, they offer solid, biblical wisdom and also fascinating insights into Russia in the '90s and now. They provide an example of faithful obedience in serving the Lord where He calls and reasons to believe in Jesus as the Savior of the world. He is risen!
