Bob was led to put his trust in Jesus by his mother at age 6. At age 10 he recommitted his life to Jesus through the ministry of evangelist Barry Moore. God called Bob into ministry and missions in mid-career through circumstances around his sister's passing from breast cancer, and the mentorship of retired SIM missionaries Ralph and Doris Jacobson. After five years on staff at a church in Burnaby, he joined SIM in 2016. Bob believes that the key to sharing the Gospel with effect is a focus on the uniqueness of the Person and Work of Jesus. His favorite books may be the Gospel of Luke and Hebrews.

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life - comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” 1 John 2:15-17 (NIV)
