Instead of a barbecue with relatives and friends, my family and I spent this Juneteenth clearing out our apartment. After seven years in Wittenbach, and thirteen years in Switzerland, we are embarking on a new adventure in another part of Europe.

Last November I was invited to candidate at the American Protestant Church of the Hague [APCH]. A congregation that has been quite special to my wife and I throughout the years. In fact, I preached there in the summer of 2013, and some of its former pastors are mentors and good friends.

The idea of serving at APCH brought much joy and excitement, and I am happy to announce that in a few weeks it will become a reality. On March 19th I was voted to be its next Lead Pastor. I look forward to joining an amazing team bringing Good News to an amazing place.

On behalf of my family, many thanks to all who helped us get to this point. We will never forget your loving support as we move on to The Hague.
