We have been happily married since the summer of 2013. We met each other at University in Minnesota where we both graduated with degrees in ministry. We are both licensed ministers with the Assemblies of God and have a heart to serve Jesus together, wherever He may lead. In 2015 we began our overseas journey ministering to refugees and immigrants in Madrid, where we learned Castilian Spanish. In 2017, we moved to Cairo and served for two years, ministering and learning Egyptian Arabic. In 2020, we returned to Cairo again for a three year term, serving as career.
