OUR STORY

Dan and Joanna have been married since April 2010, but their story began much earlier. They first met in Venezuela in 2001 when Dan traveled there on a short-term missions trip with his local church. At the time, Joanna was faithfully serving as a pastor’s secretary. Years later, in 2008, they reconnected on Facebook, and in 2009, Dan led another missions team to Venezuela. Just eight months after that trip, they were married. Since then, Dan and Joanna have served side-by-side in a variety of ministry roles, including youth and young adult pastors. Dan also holds a Doctorate in Missiology from Southeastern University, a reflection of his deep commitment to global missions and local discipleship.
Together, Dan and Joanna are passionate about raising up the next generation and developing people to become all that God has created them to be. Their heart is to see lives changed and their county transformed by the love of Jesus. They are the proud parents of four beautiful children—Sallie, Ethan, Sienna, and Ellie—and they are excited to walk this journey of faith with you!
