Gary and his wife Judylynn were mentored in the local church since their teen years. They grew as young leaders in many areas – youth ministry, leading worship, small groups, and preaching. As God redirected them into full-time ministry, Gary studied with Elim Bible Institute and became a licensed minister with Elim Fellowship.
Gary was a part of the small executive team that shepherded EMI as it grew from the tiny team of the mid-90’s (about 10 people) to the EMI world of today (over 200 in 12 offices worldwide)! He has served in many capacities, leading 50 mission teams
