Eugene is a Project Manager who works with financial institutions, government agencies, and utility companies to manage print and mail communications with external stakeholders. While he takes great pride in his professional work, his deepest passion is serving God through missions, evangelism, prayer, and discipling others—especially men—and helping people see God’s heart for the nations.

At his church, Eugene leads a small discipleship group, serves as a youth teacher, leads local outreach teams, and—God willing—hopes to serve globally among unreached people groups who need to hear the gospel. He also serves as an intercessor during midweek prayer meetings, seeking to advance the message of Christ and build up the Kingdom of God.

Outside of ministry, Eugene enjoys being active with his children. Whether shooting hoops, working out, completing a triathlon, playing tennis, or trying to keep up with his teenage son on a bike, he strives to set an example of caring for the body God has given him. As a triple-bypass survivor, Eugene is especially grateful for every opportunity to live with purpose and reflect God’s glory.

He has been married to his wife, Kelly, for 16 years. Together, they hope to serve on more mission trips with their family and fulfill the Lord’s calling to bring hope to the nations. Eugene’s desire is to live faithfully so that, at the end of his life, he will hear the words: “Well done, good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of your master.”

I met my wife Debra (Abma) while on a summer ministry assignment in Boca Raton, Florida, after graduating from High School in 1970.  Our courtship continued as I entered Calvin College and Debra completed high school. I quickly failed the advanced Biology and Chemistry courses that were needed for the forest ranger course of study. 

This led to a nudging call of the Holy Spirit to ministry that was confirmed during a summer mission experience in 1972 on the west side of Chicago in the heart of the African American community. That became a summer of learning about community, racial and justice issues.  

Debra and I were married on December 29, 1973 while still in college.  From 1975 – 1976 we served a one-year internship at Sun Valley Christian Reformed Church in the Sun Valley/Las Casitas projects on the west side of Denver CO.  I graduated from Calvin Seminary in 1978 with a MDiv., and our one son Benjamin was born three days after graduation. God brought us back to New Jersey after seminary where I served for 1 year prior to ordination as a youth pastor at Madison Ave CRC.  I was ordained there on September 25, 1979. I served from 1979 – 1987 as co-pastor and until September 2018 as senior pastor.  

During those years we founded Paterson Habitat for Humanity and Madison Ave. Crossroads Community Ministries.  I have been engaged in many other ministries through the years in the church, neighborhood and city of Paterson. Paterson has been our home for all these years and we greatly appreciate the diversity of culture and races.  I have also been deeply engaged with many African believers in a number of Global Prayer Missions in Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, and Ethiopia. My one and only book is Signs & Wonders: A Reformed look at the Spirit’s ongoing work.   

In 2013 I founded Urban Wilderness Renewal which is devoted to awaken an awareness of the presence of God in the ordinary and wilderness places of our lives and in the beauty of God’s creation. I am currently running this through Spiritual Direction, Guiding the Ignatian 19th Annotation retreats and River of God Paddling.  I also personally find great solace in and on rivers fly fishing and kayaking.  

My lifelong love of over 52 years of marriage, Debra Joy, went home to be with Jesus on May 6, 2026. This has led me to a decision to move closer to our son Ben & daughter-in-law Emily and our grandchildren Sara, David and Joshua who live in Holland MI.
