Summary
My wife and I have served alongside each other in ministry for our entire 12 years of marriage. Our objective is, and always has been, to point people to Jesus, so that they would know Him, become more like Him, and ultimately make Him known. It's our deepest desire to see the next generation fall deeper in love with Jesus, and understand their identity in Christ! After spending a season out of full-time ministry, we deeply desire to get back in the trenches. Ministry isn't something you run to, it's something you can't run away from!
