Terry and Renee grew up in the Assemblies of God, and avoided some anti-Catholic prejudices because of the Catholics they met in charismatic ecumenical gatherings. Terry went into medicine, and in his 40’s, he and his wife felt a call to become overseas medical missionaries.

After years of service, Renee’s illness led them to have to come back to the states, where Terry began working in a Catholic hospital. The relationships they developed through that experience helped lead them slowly and surely into the Catholic Church.
