We are lovers of people, lovers of relationship and a family that values quality time spent with the people we call friends, family and friends who feel like family. We both come from homes where God’s love was so clearly displayed for us in the ways that our parents INVESTED in the lives of those around them and we want to model that same deep, authentic and selfless servant-hearted, Christ-reflecting love to our kids, no matter where we are.

We are definitely not perfect BUT we live with a growing understanding and appreciation of the GRACE of God that covers all of our imperfections. It is that grace, which has carried us through the easy & the difficult times as a couple, as a family and as missionaries and it is that grace that has brought us to and will carry us back to Papua New Guinea for our next term in July 2019, Lord willing. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us and for partnering with us in this journey!
