To provide income while pastoring the church he got a job with Wein Airline where he worked until 1978 and when Wein Airline sold he went to work putting a house on a foundation and then remodeling that house for one of the former Wein executives. He pastored the church in Ester, AK until moving to Anchorage in 1981 and taking the pastorate of Sunset Hills Assembly of God.
