Latin America Ministry

Bob was raised as the son of missionaries in Peru. He attended Wheaton College and joined the U.S. army after graduation. During his career he specialized in airborne operations. He served overseas in Germany for six years, Panama for three years, and Vietnam for two years. He served as commander of units in the 24th Infantry Division, the 82nd Airborne Division, and the 101st Airborne Division.

Billie Jean, the daughter of a pastor, was raised in Brooklyn, New York, and also attended Wheaton College where she met and married Bob.

During their 22 years in the military Bob worked so closely with chaplains that he was often called "chaplain". Billie Jean usually played organ or piano in the chapel services, at times led the Protestant Women of the Chapel, and one year was recognized as the U.S. Army Southern Command "Military Wife of the Year". They took their first trip with ACCTS in 1980, and became board members, then staff members a short while later. When they received the National Association of Evangelicals Commission of Chaplains "Centurions of the Year" award for 2012 they were asked to prepare this film on their ministry and interesting childhoods.
