Bob came to love the diversity of cultures through God's placing him in a missionary family. Born in Japan, early years in Nigeria, and returning to Kenya for 10 years with his own family, Bob has come to appreciate the wonderful way in which the Body of Christ needs all the parts functioning interdependently. OC International delights to come alongside what God is doing in His Church, partnering with churches, agencies and networks like Mosaix. Bob currently serves the network in the area of Encounter visits and Coaching.

Bob is an active member of the Ethnic America Network, assisting with strategic planning. After graduation from Biola and Dallas Seminary, Bob pastored in southern California. He has authored two books, and now lives with his wife Lyn in the Seattle area. Catch his blog at www.itzabouteternity.blogspot.com and his ministry website at www.OC-US.org.
