Our Testimonies
Jake was saved at the early age of 5 years old after understanding and believing what Christ had done for him on the cross and through repenting of his personal sins. He grew up in a variety of Baptist churches, but not until a youth pastor began to disciple him did he really begin to grow in his Christian walk. Later, God gave him the desire to go into missions through a missions trip to Ukraine in 2003.
Joy grew up in a pastors home clearly understanding the Gospel, and tried to put on a front of a Christian life without having a relationship with Christ. Not until age 16 did she truly repent of her sins and place her personal faith in Christs death and resurrection. After this time she quickly began to grow spiritually and allowed the Lord to lead her to Bible college. After realizing her love for children, at first she desired to be a school teacher, but God gave her a desire to study missions and focus more on teaching the Bible to young kids and women.
