Who We Are

We’re just some newlyweds from California who love being involved in ministry! Matt first got to know about ministry overseas in high school when his family moved to Jamaica. Rachel grew up knowing about missions because her grandparents were long-term missionaries. Growing up and through college, neither of us knew where or what type of ministry we would be involved with, but we both knew we wanted to spend our lives in ministry! We both studied everything we could to prepare us for that - business, Bible, counseling, education, missions. We both even collected survival guides and training manuals, thinking that might help us wherever God took us!

Then after college came the fun and funny 5 years that we were friends and completely resisted the idea of being interested in each other. God changed both of our hearts and we realized that this great friendship could become the beginning of a great marriage. We’re over 2 years into this marriage, and we love this journey that God has put us on together!

One thing that we both love to do is be creative. For Matt, this looks like being a MacGuyver handyman and problem-solver, and enjoying photography. For Rachel, it’s trying all kinds of culinary arts, sewing just about anything, and exploring new places.
