An important irreplaceable part of my life since 1977, she finds her work to be mostly behind-the-scenes helping to keep the family going. Her hobbies lately are gardening and her favorite pastimes are putting together puzzles and playing board games. Her personal goal is to walk closer to her Lord, day by day, as He blesses. She has no career apart from her family and the ministry the Lord has called us to do.

Proverbs 3:5, 6, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” This is an important passage of scripture to Peggy throughout the years.

She has as a favorite memory of the USA her home and family in Ohio, the Wooster Baptist Temple, and Pastor and Mrs. Floyd Koenig.

Her favorite memory of Brazil has been the kind people who accept us with all our funny and strange ways and the many who give of themselves to encourage these “pilgrims” in a strange land.

Her advice to anyone coming to Brazil is to “put aside all your likes and dislikes of the United States and come to Brazil with the intent of trying new things and seeing new things. Keep a prayerful heart that the Lord might help you leave Brazil with a better understanding of life in a foreign country and the lives of your missionary friends.”

When asked what she enjoys doing the most, she says “serving the Lord through my family”. Now you understand why she is an important and irreplaceable part in my life.
