Shift Your Gears
to a Life of Purpose
The Badlands
South Dakota
Welcome
The seed for Shift Your Gears was was planted in our hearts in May of 2020. We were on our 10 year anniversary trip, taking time to reflect on our last 10 years as well as pondering the next 10. The Lord began tugging on our hearts and over the course of several months, actually almost a year, that seed grew and He shifted our gears!
What does it Mean...?
What does it mean to shift your gears? The term “shift your gears” is an idiom. It means to change what you are doing. We shifted from a life that was building our own kingdom, a “me centric” life, to one that is focused on building God’s Kingdom.
We believe that many people are ready for a SHIFT… to a life of purpose! Maybe that’s you. Do you believe the Lord is tugging on your heart to shift your gears? We would love to have a conversation to encourage, pray, and walk with you as you pursue that shift.
Where are we?

Big News:
Tim and Kim are now both on staff at Hope Fleet international. “Hope Fleet is an international boating organization empowering Caribbean communities to better care for children and families. Jesus Christ taught that it is everyone’s responsibility to do what we can to care for each other, especially the poor, widowed, and orphaned. They fulfill that responsibility and compassionately deliver hope to as many as they are able by sailing essential supplies and providing services to those who need it most.” learn more at www.hopefleet.org.
These a volunteer positions that will incur travel and other ministry expenses, so we are seeking financial support along the way (all donations are tax deductible). We are excited to link arms with this ministry and make an even bigger impact on the lives of those we serve.
Shifted to What?
In June of 2021 we quit our day jobs, moved into our camper, and stepped out to be available to the Lord. We have traveled all over the United States being his hands and feet, loving those around us, and sharing the good news of Jesus wherever we are.
We continue to live in a posture of being open handed and available to whatever and wherever the Lord leads us.
