Bert is a graduate of Louisiana State University and finished his residency at San Jaoquin Medical Center in General surgery. As his first wife was dying of breast cancer, he started seeking the Lord and accepted Jesus as His Lord and Savior and dedicated his life to His service where ever He led him.

Debbie, raised in French Guiana, South America, is a graduate of Lancaster General Hospital School of Nursing and Jefferson Thomas University. She went into nursing so that she could use it as a stepping stone into people’s lives to share the good news.

Bert and Debbie met at Nyankunde, DRC, while they were both on a short term trip. They married in 1986 and have three children born on three continents. They returned to the mission field three weeks after being married, always feeling that the Lord wanted them to their our medical training to reach the unreached people groups in the 10/40 window. Since 1986, they have worked in Cameroun, Thailand, Sudan, USA, Nigeria, and Chad. In 2002, they started a project with the goal to reach 6 unreached people group in Chad through medical work. Guinebor 2 Hopital opened in 2010 and is a 50 bed hospital.

They recently have had medical problems themselves that have slowed, but not stopped their work for the Lord.
