Appointed as career missionaries in January 2008, Richard and Sheila started full-time ministry in Belgium in April 2009. Their focus includes leadership development, church planting and children’s ministry training. Currently, more than half of the administrative districts in Belgium have no evangelical presence. Richard and Sheila’s vision is for a vibrant movement to spread across Belgium planting healthy, self-supporting churches in every district that lacks a viable witness for Christ. Before missionary appointment, Richard and Sheila served the Layhill Free Methodist Church, Silver Spring, MD, for seven years. Sheila has also been a special education public school teacher.
