about our family…
Dan was born in Portland, Oregon in 1948. Peggy was born and raised in Iowa. We were both saved as children, dedicated our lives for ministry as teens, and attended Faith Baptist Bible College to prepare for Christian service. We were married on January 3, 1970, and began in full-time ministry the next year. God has blessed us with three children and ten grandchildren, for which we are very thankful: Mark & his wife, Ingrid, live in Pensacola, FL, and have three children. Mark has a graphic and web design business, and Ingrid works as a nurse. Julie’s family lives in Marysville, KS, where her husband, Gerald Hawk, pastors the Victory Baptist Church. They have four children. David, along with his wife, Melissa and their three children, are missionaries with Baptist Church Planters, where David serves as Coordinator of Hispanic Ministries.
Here’s a recent photo of the whole clan.
