After his discharge, they packed up the car and moved to Springfield, Missouri, at attend Central Bible Institute to fulfill the call on their lives to become a minister with the Assemblies of God. He got his degree, (Maxine typed every single report for all his classes) and pastored in Branson, Strafford, and Joplin Missouri and had their daughter Karen.

The journey continued to a small church in Arroyo Grande, CA in 1957, and stayed there three years and had their daughter Robyn in 1960. Anaheim was their next stop at another small church "Town Church" and stayed there 19 years, when they wanted to retire, they thought Pismo Beach would be a perfect place, so they built a home, but retirement was not for them. They moved back to Anaheim/Orange. He was called to serve, so he became a Consultant and Executive Assistant at the SoCal Network Assemblies of God for 22 years. He finally retired at 84 years. His final years at home were filled with love, family and church at Elsinore First Assembly. They were married a wonderful 67 years.
