We have determined to serve God;
wherever and however He directs us...
no matter the cost!
We believe that we were created to bring Glory to God.  We know that He wants to have a personal and
intimate relationship with each of us.  We know that God is in control of all and that He commonly uses
situations that may seem difficult for His own purposes.  We know that His ways and thoughts are
higher than ours.  We may not always understand why He allows things to happen, but we know that
He will use every situation for His Glory.  We also believe that we can serve Him better as a single unit,
and that is the main reason behind our marriage.  We believe in the Great Commission from the New
Testament and seek to live it everyday.  We believe that the Lord is returning....very soon.  We want to
be ready.  We want to be obedient to his direction in all that we do.  

Our goal is to give Him complete control of our future, finances, family, and
careers.
A Call to Nineveh!
