In the house of the righteous is much treasure -- Prov 15:6a (KJV)
Redgy and Joy met at Oak Hills Bible College located right
outside Bemidji, Minnesota in 1989. February 22, 1991 they were married.
In July of that same year, they moved to North Pole, Alaska to work at KJNP
- a Christian Radio and Television station. They have continued to work at KJNP as volunteers/missionaries, and the family raises their own support from family and friends as there is no payroll at KJNP.
September 22, 1994, Ashley Monique, their first child was born. September 13, 1998, Kimberly Joann was added to the family.
At the station, Redgy works on
production work for the automation system, programs, paper work in between larger maintenance projects at the station. Redgy also receives several trade magazines that he reads to keep informed on current broadcast equipment and practices.
This is to keep current on the record keeping requirements for the technical
aspects of the station, and also so that equipment can be replaced (as it wears out) with up to date items that are going to be more efficient for
KJNP's operation. He also needs to hook up the equipment, and learn
how to operate it so he can train others how to operate the new equipment. Redgy is also on call 24 hours a day seven days a
week. If one of the radio stations goes off the air, it is his job
to fix the problem as soon as possible — whatever the time or weather.
Occasionally Redgy does some traveling around Alaska while he is working.
We have translators in Barrow, Fort Yukon, Circle, Dot Lake, Tok, and Delta
Junction. To get to Fort Yukon and Barrow (the northern most town in the nation) you need to fly. The rest of the translator sites have roads that go to them. We also have a station in Houston, Alaska called KJHA that went on the air in July of 1998.
After getting home from the
station he spends around 45 minutes exercising, either in the house or outside
a lot of the time. The rest of the evening is spend doing chores around the house. In his spare time Redgy enjoys snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, and canoeing.
He also stays busy doing wood working and remodeling the house they live
in.
