Virginia, USA
We are a family of five in training to become cross-cultural church planters. We graduated in 2018 from Ethnos360 Bible Institute in Jackson, Michigan and since then have come to Durham, Ontario for the next phase of training. We were raised with a strong biblical foundation in our home church of Virginia and seek to see others across the globe have the same kind of firm foundational Bible teaching we ourselves were given. We do not think we are any more qualified or called to a missionary lifestyle than anyone else, but are simply willing to follow step-by-step what we feel God is leading us to do. As we have gone through Bible school training and seen the need of other cultures across the globe, steeped in darkness, with no knowledge or access to the gospel message that we have here in North America, we have been convicted to see that gospel message spread abroad. Through our training, we have come to see Ethnos and the Emanate program as necessary stepping stones to equip us for future ministry no matter where we go. We are not superheroes, but through the power of the Holy Spirit in us, we know that anything is possible, including using us to live in another culture, learn language, thrive in a completely different environment, translate, disciple, and faithfully communicate God’s Word to others. We are excited to see where He will lead us next!
