Throughout 56 years of marriage our life-verses have been  Proverbs 3:5-6

   "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

    In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths!"

For several years she taught a "Character Building" Bible class in Metropolitan School District Elementary schools, Wabash, IN. Our four daughters and families are all serving the Lord; one in Ohio, two in Indiana and one in heaven. We enjoy special times with our three daughters, sons-in-law and eight grandchildren! We also provide a comfortable living for two cats, Holly and Missy. 

Since David's first trip to Israel, Greece and Jordan (a college student tour 36 years ago), we have led hundreds to experience Israel and other countries where Biblical events took place. We treasure friendships and lifelong memories, planning and leading these meaningful tours. "Footsteps of Jesus and More" in 2025 would have been David's 18th tour to various Bible Lands.. 

We are happy to answer your questions about any of the Bible lands. Wherever life takes you, may our God always direct YourPaths!

Your friends in Jesus,
