We has been serving @ ICCM since March of 2026. We met in high-school and married in 2000. God called us into gospel ministry in 2001. We served in one community for over 25 years. During our time serving in upstate NY, God gave us opportunities to bring the good news of Jesus to five continents and over 30 short term trips. in 2026 we followed God's call to move into an international role. We love doing life together as a family. We love to travel, meet new people and, experience new cultures.
God blessed us with three children who love him and are following the Lord as young adults. when younger our children served alongside us and now as adults we take great joy in seeing them serve the Lord in the way he calls them.
Our Goal in life remains to glorify God by: Reaching people in their lost state, cultivating their Relationship with Christ and other believers, and challenging them to Respect God with their lives.
