Ted was raised in Edna, Texas, served in US Navy, alumni of U of Texas, Rhema & ORU. Georgie was raised on a sheep farm near Wanganui, New Zealand, and is also an alumni of Rhema & ORU.
Ted went to work for a Houston seismograph company that sent him over seas for a few years where he met Georgie. She was an airline hostess working in Sydney, Australia. They were married on Georgie's parent's sheep farm in NZ the day after Christmas 1969.
Some years later in 1996, feeling like God was calling them to start a new work in Wausau, WI they started The Grace Station Church. Ted both pastored & worked full time, until 2004 when he retired from his other job. On Easter Sunday 2015 he retired from pastoring. They have 3 grown sons and 9 grandkids. Ted & Georgie are currently full-time house and pet sitters, traveling all over the US, Canada and New Zealand. They love meeting new people and seeing the country. They also teach & minister in churches when available.
