He then earned his Doctor of Philosophy in Theology degree at Zoe College, Jacksonville, Florida. After graduation, the couple moved to Mexico where they ministered for several years, teaching in a Bible school and establishing many churches. They returned to the United States in 1983, and in 1984 began pastoring People's Church in Grandville, Michigan after the retirement of former pastor Jim Bugg. The church was soon renamed to Resurrection Life Church.
