Randall’s story is one of faith, service, and the quiet challenges that many who serve others carry behind the scenes.

About a year ago, Randall had a tooth prepared for a crown at his dental office. However, with ongoing health issues and the financial demands of multiple surgeries, he had to postpone the procedure. Recently, part of the tooth fractured, making treatment urgent. Hoping for a solution, Randall came to Mercy Dental Missions, where he was able to receive care through the Agape Grant Program.



Randall has spent many years in ministry and currently serves as a pastor in Sauk City. For the past 18 years, he has pastored smaller churches as a bi-vocational pastor, also driving a school bus to help support his family. While he feels called to serve others, the financial strain of repeated medical procedures—including surgeries for a shoulder injury, kidney stones, a double hernia, and ongoing treatment for polycystic liver disease—has made meeting insurance deductibles and healthcare costs a constant challenge.

Despite these difficulties, Randall’s perspective remains deeply rooted in faith. He believes that when people give to help others, they are serving the Lord. As he shares, financial assistance through programs like the Agape Grant not only meets practical needs but also “goes a long way to show the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Randall often reflects on the wisdom his father, a longtime pastor, once shared with him: “In the ministry, when people want to bless you, don’t turn it away—because God wants to bless them for blessing you.”

Thanks to the generosity behind the Agape Grant Program, Randall was able to receive the care he needed during a difficult season. With gratitude he simply says, “Thank you very much, and God bless.”

His story is a reminder that caring for those who dedicate their lives to serving others is one small way love and compassion continue to ripple outward into the community.
