About US<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ever since we were married, we knew that we wanted to be missionaries.\u00a0 God has placed a desire in our hearts to work with people around the world who have never had the opportunity to hear the Word of God.\u00a0 After years of training, we departed for West Africa in 2011. \u00a0Over our first term on the field God filled us with a love for West Africa and especially for the small church he has established there. We now serve in various roles including: working alongside local churches and pastors in the formation of an African missionary training program, supporting missionaries who are out in isolated locations, and mentoring newly arriving missionaries through language and culture study.<\/p>\n

It is a life full of adventures, but there is nothing better than following the path God has laid out for us!<\/p>\n

About our Website<\/strong><\/p>\n

We believe that we are only one member of a larger team who also desires to bring the gospel to those who have never heard.\u00a0 This website is the place where we can report our ups and downs and share the journey we are on with those who are supporting us around the world.\u00a0 We value prayers, because we know it makes a difference.\u00a0 Thank you for reading about us and praying for us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
