Bart grew up as a missionary kid in Bangladesh. Emily grew up as a farm girl in Pennsylvania. Luke was born in Ohio and Titus in Michigan. Together as a family we are looking forward to serving the Lord in Papua New Guinea! We both graduated from Cedarville University in Ohio. After getting married in 1999, Bart served as a youth pastor for several years. We knew we wanted to be involved in missions but didn't know what steps to take. The Lord led us to New Tribes Bible Institute in August of 2003. We just wanted to get some good Bible training, but the Lord had some additional plans! While at Bible school, we were made aware of the huge need for tribal missions. About 2,500 language groups around the world have no Scriptures in their language! Not even one verse! They have no way of hearing the Truth of God's Word unless someone goes and tells them. Throughout our two years of in-depth Bible study, we became more and more convinced that the Lord could use us to reach some of these people.  We have been blessed with two special boys. Luke is 6 and Titus is 3 1/2. They love to play outside, sing songs, read books and build Lego creations. When we go on a trip, one of them will often ask - "Are we leaving for PNG now?" It is so neat for us to watch them learn and grow. Please pray that they will clearly see Christ as we follow Him.
