Walking the Journey of Faith Together
Welcome to our family website! Whether you are an old friend or new to our family, we hope this site brings you closer to us, and us to you. Over the years, our journey with God has led us around the world, though valleys and extreme challenges, as well as to mountaintops and great pleasures. We've had our share of unexpected twists and turns that have served to mature us and deepen our faith. We hope our journey will be an encouragement to you, and that it might spur you on in your own. Here's the latest snapshot of our journey...
- Two years after working in our professional fields, we joined Mission Aviation Fellowship in 2002. We served 7 years with MAF raising our financial support, learning French in Quebec, Canada, and working 4 years in Vanga, Democratic Republic of Congo.
- After our service with MAF ended in May 2009, we moved to IL where Amy is working as a full-time nurse, Ben is obtaining his Master of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS), and Luke is growing up fast!
- In July of 2010, Ben had the opportunity to lead a Pastors' Conference in Liberia, Africa, serving with BESTWA (Building Economic Success Together in West Africa).
- In May 2011, we were able to go to Israel and Jordan with the TEDS study group. It was an incredible trip!
- Ben has been able to participate in the College of Liturgists and College of Preachers at our church, Life on the Vine. Currently, he is co-leading the Vernon Hills Missional Order.
