They met at college. After getting married, they joined the global worker development process at Heritage Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va. Later they completed a 2-year church-planting training program in Missouri with their organization. This training is specialized for people ministering to unreached people groups in remote locations around the world. Some of the highlights of their training include living out in the woods with a team for 18 days, hands-on language learning methods, and working as a team in a small group. At the end of the two years, they stayed for an additional advanced Linguistics course so that Noah could be better prepared for the role of Bible translation, understanding how languages work.

Their plan is to plant a maturing church that will grow to be like Christ, through the ministry of Bible translation, foundational Bible teaching, and discipleship.

In 2023 they built a team of people who are walking along with them in the incredible work God is doing in the nations. In mid-October they moved to a town in Asia Pacific where they will be discipled in preparation for moving to a remote location. Praise God for the ways He has provided for them!
