Both Bryan and Melissa were blessed to grow up attending church and came to know the Lord as their Savior at a young age. Melissa knew shortly after her salvation that she was called into missions, thanks to the constant exposure of missionaries at Tulsa Bible Church and through the missions reading program. At age 10, she met a missionary nurse and knew the Lord had pointed her toward her life calling. 
Bryan realized the Lord could use him in full-time missions after going on his first mission trip to Mexico at age 16 with Wagoner First Baptist . 
Since that time, they have been fortunate to attend multiple cross-cultural mission trips, ranging from Mexico and Guatamala, to Volgadonsk and Montreal. Since meeting each other, they have been to Honduras and Venezuela, serving in their areas of interest, aviation and nursing.
Bryan received his Aircraft & Powerplant Mechanic Certification in October 2002 and his private pilot June 2004. He also has Bible Training through Moody Bible Institute and received a Bachelor of Intercultural Ministry through New Tribes Mission.
Melissa has her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and is a Registered Nurse. She also has a Bachelor in Intercultural Ministry through New Tribes Mission and an Associates in Spanish. 
Andrew is now a BIG 2 boy and he is always on the go, exploring indoors and out. He remains the happiest little boy alive and smiles at everyone he meets. He is a blessing to his mom and dad!
