Meet Ben and His Family

You can always judge a man from several factors: the woman he marries, the children he raises, and the grandchildren that his children raise. Generations of character being instilled with moral responsibility, financial stability, and a work ethic that shows faithfulness and responsibility.

Ben's Family

Family is Everything!

The Bride that God gave me long ago has kept me strong and steady. After our wedding I made a deal with Debbie that I would make all the Major Decisions of our life and she could make all the Minor Decisions. So far, there haven't been any Major Decisions! 

I'm so proud of my children! My three daughters are all wonderful servants in their fields: Jennifer in Zambia, Jessica at the Mesick Pharmacy and also Real Estate, and Bethany as a wife and mother. Our son, Jeremy, died in our family's head-on with a semi on 9/11/2001. We still miss him, but will see him again someday.

Daughter Jennifer is a long-time single Missionary to the country of Zambia. She lives in the city of Luanshya, in the district of the Copperbelt. For over 23 years, she has been feeding, clothing, and educating orphans. Several of her past orphans have graduated from college with her support. Mwitwa is graduating in May from the University of Lusaka with a degree in Public Health. Chitalu will graduate in December as a Medical Doctor. She is in residency now.

MY WIFE DEBBIE

The Best Help-meet possible.

An Elementary Education student when I met her, the Lord turned her heart toward the mission field. She changed her major to being a Missions student. The Lord knew when she graduated from Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri, she would have her husband as her entire Mission Field for the rest of her life.
