Belize, Central America

I was commissioned as a Missionary Associate by the Assemblies of God to the nation of Belize, Central America.

Everyone chips in on laundry day in Red Bank.

Here I am on the left talking among the Mayans as we wait to have church. The man with a beard on the right is a dear friend and mentor named Roy. Roy and I have ministered together all over the world.

This complex contains the Belize national headquarter offices of the Assemblies of God, the Belize Bible Institute, a Christian book store, a chapel, a cafeteria, and dormitories.

About Brother Chuck

Missionary, Pastor, Camp and Conference Center Director, Entrepreneur, Steel Mill Worker, Welder

Hello, fellow pilgrims! I'm Brother Chuck. I'm retired now. I'm married. I have 2 grown children and 2 step children. I also have 3 grandchildren. I'm a born again evangelical, protestant, Spirit-filled, Bible believing Christian. I'm formerly an Assemblies of God Missionary Associate commissioned to Central America and assigned to the nation of Belize. I was asked to direct our national camp and conference center and assist in its development. While in Belize, I was pastor to some 200 families. With God's help and the leading of the Holy Spirit, my small Bible study that began with just three people grew to a congregation of 200 in just one year. God is awesome! I'm also an entrepreneur owning my own office products store (out of business now). I'm a 30 year retired electric arc furnace operator at a steel mill in Ohio, and a welder.

Now that I'm retired, I'm communicating my thoughts, and sharing my missionary experiences in Central America, South America, Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean. I'm thinking out loud about today's political climate. I'm talking about God, and how we can live victoriously. Together, you and I, rightly dividing the Word of God so we can apply His Word to our everyday lives. I'm on a journey called life. Come join me!

My Education: I began working on a B.A. in Biblical Theology. I never finished. No excuses. I was very busy working full time and working on my degree part time. I got about half way through my 4 year program.

I studied Bible at the following:

Berean University of the Assemblies of God, Springfield, MO
School of Missions at Central Bible College, Springfield, MO
Caribbean School of Theology at the Belize Bible Institute. Belize City, Belize Central America

The reason I get up in the morning? "GO THEREFORE!" Matthew 28:19-20 is the scripture that drives me. Christ has commissioned all of us to go into all the world! To preach the good news to everyone, everywhere!

1 Corinthians 1:17 (NIV)

Now you know all about me. Let's journey together.

Some of the team members. I'm kneeling in the front. The Red Bank village church received new doors, windows, roof, stage platform and sound system.

Peru, South America

In this picture, missionary to Peru, LeAnna and I are doing a puppet ministry for the kids in the village of Ichupampa, Peru way up in the Andes Mountains. Elevation: 11,155 feet.

In this photo, I'm manning the puppet with the red ears.

This is Misti, a volcano. You can see it from the city of Arequipa, Peru where our base is located.

After our puppet ministry and a little preaching, these kids are accepting Christ as their savior. Charlie, a missionary to Peru is standing to the far right.

Our American team worked side-by-side with African nationals. We're doing the drama Heaven's Gates and Hell's Flames in an open air crusade in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Africa. Thousands came to the altar to receive Christ during our week long crusade on this football field.

We're about to begin our safari in Tanzania, Africa.

I loved watching the giraffes galloping. Wow! Amazing! You won't see that at a zoo.

The Dominican Republic

Located in the Eastern Caribbean Sea and Shares an Island With Haiti

The church is under construction in the cane fields of theDominican Republic.

The Dominicans wanted to have church before the building was built. So that's what we did every evening. We led the services and it was awesome!

The new church is nearly built. We're gathered in prayer blessing the new building, giving thanks and standing in awe of God.

On our way to build a new church deep in the cane fields of the Dominican Republic. Cat. 4 Hurricane Georges destroyed the old church.

In this picture a boy on his horse was strolling through the village watching our construction team.

El Salvador, Central America

I'm trying to dance and keep up. I'm on the far left and I'm between the 2 guys with hats. We're working alongside Castillo Del Rey, El Salvador, Central America doing a school ministry.
