BIO-SKETCH:  Seminary Teacher — Dave and Blanca were raised in non-Christian homes; Blanca in Honduras,  Central America and Dave in Wyoming, Michigan.   Both became christians in high school.   Blanca worked for World Vision in Honduras and received her call to missions there.   Dave studied at Reformed Bible College and his call to missions came while spending 2 summers in Mexico with IDEA Ministries’ STS program.   Blanca and Dave met when Blanca came to RBC to visit a friend.

In 1994 they left for Ecuador and served as church planter in Lajo until 1999. Dave returned to the U.S. to study at Calvin Theological Seminary in 2000 and graduated in 2004 with his Masters of Divinity.

Dave and Blanca have two children: Daniel and Alexandra

THE WORK:  Dave teaches at the Reformed Theological Seminary in Mexico, and assists two local churches with preaching, training, church planting and evangelism. Blanca is also involved with ministries in the local church.
