we're getting married!

Brennan and I met at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, MI. From the beginning, our friendship was marked with joy and a deep love for Jesus. Brennan started a ministry in college, and at the end of these worship nights, we would be the last two people in the room talking about revival and enlarging one another’s dreams. We both felt so challenged by the other person in a way that we hadn’t experienced before. Our friendship was so special! February of 2019, we took a spontaneous road trip with some friends to THE SEND in Orlando, FL where sparks began to fly! During this weekend, I don’t think we left each other's side. Through the 18 hour car ride, exploring downtown disney, the day of the conference, we were inseparable! An entire novel could be written on this journey of pursuit that followed; it was quite an adventure to say the least. Long story short, almost a year later we made our dating relationship official on January 22, 2020. Through a global pandemic, graduating college, moving to California together to be full time missionaries, touring all over America, traveling to Africa, lots of long distance, and everything in between, our love for Jesus and for each other only grew stronger. Brennan and I knew that our relationship was not just the byproduct of a good idea, or something that we stumbled into by chance; but a union designed by God Himself for a special purpose. On November 9, 2021 Brennan proposed and I said yes! Now we look ahead to a lifetime of adventure hand in hand. Our hope is that every year to come would be marked by service to Jesus, unrelenting love for one another, radical faith and uncommon courage. This is just the beginning of forever! We are excited for what's in store.

Kiley and I are so excited to continue full time on the mission field as a marriage team! After two years of traveling back and forth between the Midwest and the West Coast, Kiley and I plan to move back to Grand Rapids, Michigan and work as full time missionaries with the non profit I co-founded called the 'EveryHeart Movement'. We have signed up to do anything it takes to see this broken world met by the love of Jesus. One of the main ways we will do this is by overseeing and leading the 8 campuses of our university initiative 'Met by Love'. We will be training and discipling leaders, leading worship nights, preaching, and organizing, planning, and leading nation wide gospel tours in the summer. The Circuit Riders are and always will be family and in a real way we feel that a piece of our heart is in California. We will still be partnering with the Circuit Rider movement in any collaborative way we can to push forth the mission of Jesus in a greater way! More than any movement we would serve or exploit we will carry out, our desire is that a generation would come to know Jesus. We will give the rest of our lives to this cause! We can’t wait to see what God has in store this next year!
