To keep this ministry going, he “sings for his supper” at churches across the US and receives donations to fuel him to the next park.
Come hear him speak at sing at Ascension Lutheran – Brookings and Our Savior’s Lutheran, Sioux Falls for his FIRST appearances in the Lower 48 after returning (driving from) Alaska’s 23 parks.
