Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.
Psalm 71:17-18

Erik and Staci have had a “mission-focused marriage” since their wedding in June, 1997. The couple moved to St. Lucia in the Caribbean in July, 1997 and stayed there until July, 2016. During this 19 year stretch Erik was the Minister of Christian Education at Trinity Lutheran Church. He worked with children, youth, and adults in the areas of Christian education, music, worship, and evangelism. He also volunteered in a number of schools and other community organizations. Staci filled these years by fulfilling a number of different roles: volunteer minister, stay at home mom, librarian, and awesome and supportive wife. Staci and Erik were blessed with three boys while they lived in St. Lucia: Jonas(24); Jaxson(22) and Ethan (17). In 2016 Erik took a call to be a high school theology teacher at Divine Savior Academy in Miami, FL. He mostly taught junior and senior at the high school level and was able to volunteer in various capacities at Divine Savior Church. Staci worked at Divine Savior in multiple different capacities and also worked for Miami Dade Public Schools. In July, 2023 Staci and Erik moved to Peridot, AZ on the San Carlos Apache Reservation. Erik currently serves the school and two churches as youth and family minister. Staci is the reading specialist at Peridot-Our Savior’s Lutheran School. Although the cultures (and income!) of St. Lucia, Miami and Peridot are quite different from one another, God’s Word and its message are still effective!
