Andrew
I grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
When I was 13, I lived in Tanzania with my family for a year. While there, I noticed that God had gifted me with a love for language learning. My calling into missions grew stronger as I attended Bible School and Seminary.
One of my life goals is to learn to say John 3:16 in
20 languages.
Alexis
I grew up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Marion, North Carolina.
I first felt God’s calling to missions when I was twelve as I read Amy Charmichael’s biography. When I was 18, I lived in Uganda with my family for a year. While I was there, I met Andrew at our house church. ❤️
One of my life goals is to visit all 50 states.
