In 1987 Larry transitioned into a Bible teaching ministry at the Bangkok Bible College and Seminary where he served as Academic Dean and Dean of the Seminary. In 1995 finished classwork for a PhD at Biola University which allowed his family to move to Northern Thailand to start a TEE program.
Larry acted as director of the newly formed Chiang Mai Theological Seminary in 2000 before the family evacuated Thailand in 2002 due to a diagnosis of cancer in Paula’s bone marrow. After nine years of treatment, Paula’s struggle with cancer ended and she went into the Lord’s presence.
