OUR STORY
Liz and I were both led to Christ as young children. We met at Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, where we were involved in Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru) as students.
Through our involvement in Cru and a local church, God placed a desire in us to know Him more deeply, and to make Him known to others. He led us into full-time ministry with Cru and then led us into a life with one another. We were married in November 1996 and now have three children.

THE GOSPEL CHANGES LIVES
When I first met Josh, he was joining just about every campus club he could find! Having grown up without a father, he was left with a deep longing for connection—and he was determined to fill that void.
Josh was interested in spiritual things, so he came to Cru. He and I started meeting together regularly, he made some great friendships with Cru students, and God used these new relationships to challenge him with the reality of Gospel. The following winter break, Josh placed his faith in Christ!
Then, Josh began pursuing a student in his dorm named, Colin. Colin did not want anything to do with God, but through Josh’s persistence, personal story, and care for him, Colin also experienced God’s love and came to know Jesus personally.
Colin then helped lead a student missions team to Athens, Greece! What a great example of 2 Timothy 2:2, entrusting the things we have learned to the next generation!
