Our Team

I am so glad you are here.  My wife, Maike, and I came here from Alberta, Canada where we served in two churches over the past 20 years.  We served in a town of 300 and then a town of just under 6000.  We love the small town feeling that Watertown has, but the city amenities that it holds.  When God called us here in August 2019, we had no idea that was going to take more than a year to come to pass.  In November of 2020, we finally received our visas and relocated to South Dakota.  What an incredible state this is!  And the people -- I am amazed at the generosity, kindness, and love that we have encountered since coming here.  The welcome we have received has only fueled my desire to see people come to know and experience the even greater love that Jesus offers.  My hope and prayer is that the people of Watertown come to see Jesus through us here at Christian Life Assembly and that together we see God glorified in this city!!
