Chris’ parents were missionaries in Italy and he grew up serving in the international church in Rome. After moving to Missouri as a college student and transitioning into a leadership position at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield he met and married Kim. Kim was raised in Texas and Missouri, attended college, and worked as both a teacher in the public school system and for a Christian adoption agency. They both serve in their local church in the chilrdren’s area and lead a small group. While leading a small group they felt called to serve as missionaries in Italy. They have been given a vision and desire to reach the children of Italy for the Lord and through these interactions with the children reach the parents and families for the Lord. They desire to work with children of all nationalities and faiths. The goal is to leave for the field in early 2021. They are presently itenerating and sharing their vision for the children of Italy.
