About Me

I was raised in a fantastic little town called Shelby near Lake Michigan. I studied Organizational Communications at Cedarville University because I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. I was 19 years old when God completely changed my life while on a Euroquest mission trip. I learned how to have a relationship with the Living God and felt Him calling me into a lifetime of ministry to women and young people.

When I was 24 I graduated from Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary with a Master’s degree in Christian Education and a week later I married my friend and ministry partner, Darin. Together we had sat in churches across the UK while on Euroquest and experienced the vast, beautiful churches which had just a handful of faithful, elderly ladies. God planted a dream in us to see the churches of the UK filled with faithful young men and women and in 2001 he called us to serve full time in England.

We have 2 daughters, Ella and Kiera, who were born in the England and have the most darling British accents.
