Harry and Beth were first called to serve as missionaries with Youth Evangelism Service for a year doing street evangelism to help start a church in Bari, Italy in 1987. After that year they were asked to return to Sicily as long term missionaries. They accepted the invitation and served nine more years as church planting missionaries. Both were privileged to participate directly in planting five new Mennonite churches.

Upon returning to the United States in August of 2000 Harry entered seminary at Eastern Mennonite Seminary and began serving as Associate Pastor at Harrisonburg Mennonite Church. He served for six years as pastor of Praise Fellowship, an alternative service that met in the Fellowship Hall and during that time completed his MDIV.

Beth served as choir director at Harrisonburg Mennonite for four years, then served as the Director of Youth Ministries at Pleasant Valley Church of the Brethren for two years. She entered seminary and completed her MDIV as well during this time.

In the last six months of their time in Harrisonburg, VA they had a vision for a new church plant in Harrisonburg and, with others, founded The Table that currently meets at Eastern Mennonite Seminary.

In the summer of 2006 they were invited to serve in their current roles at Neffsville Mennonite Church. They have three children, Sarah, Chris, and Harrison.
