God has woven into Jesse and Monica's lives His passion for the nations even before they knew He was calling them to serve Him in missions. Jesse was born in Nebraska but immigrated to Italy at a young age and was saved through a church planting ministry there. Monica was born and raised in Brazil, but later moved to Kansas where her family settled down. In their teens, God began calling them to serve Him in full-time ministry. They have a growing family and are enjoying life in the eternal city.
