Matthew 19:24

Princeton Bible Church is in the heart of a highly affluent area. As you can imagine, it is a different culture and lifestyle even to Pastor Nelson and his family. It is similar to that which we will minister to in Italy. Lives full of busy schedules, abundant material objects, social respect all entrenched in post-modern belief systems. Proof of this may be that the church is in the ideal location with Princeton University and the Choir College close by; yet none of the students attend church there.

We ended up in Princeton after Pastor Brad Nelson contacted our pastor inquiring about missionaries. His church wanted to do more for missions. Pastor Grace recommended our family, and Pastor Nelson got in touch with Michael. Before even meeting us, he and his church began to support us on a monthly basis. Of course that made it even more exciting for us to meet them all in person! It is a blessing to have a pastor like Pastor Grace, who has already done so much for us on deputation.

Princeton Bible Church is an amazing result of a vision to plant a Bible church in the heart of a beautiful, historical city. It meets on the campus of Westminster Choir College, to which I was thrilled-now I can attest that “Yes, I have sung there.” We had a wonderful day getting to know the members there and made some great friendships...and of course Natalia made "a few" too!
