In 1982 Christopher and his Swedish wife, Ragna, moved to Brussels, Belgium, to work with ICI (now Global University) in media development, and soon afterwards were adopted as missionaries by the North Texas District of the Assemblies of God.
In 1991, after the collapse of Communism in Central Europe they went to Slovakia to work with the churches there.
In 2003 they moved to International Media Ministries in Spain, writing and producing a series of docudrama video programs on the Life of Christ.
Their work has taken them to many nations in Europe, Asia and Africa. They now live in Fort Worth, Texas, officially “retired” but still very busy in media and in preaching and Bible teaching.
