"We (Tom and Joanna) met in college in Nashville, TN. We both have a passion for music and ministry. When we were first married we felt a call to go to the UK, so we bought one way tickets and went! God was incredibly faithful and we ended up staying for five years doing work in the Anglican church. We moved back to the states and had our three sons, Reuben, Eli and Silas, and Tom started to pursue his Masters of Divinity at Bethany Seminary. After a few years working in the secular non-profit world, Tom felt called back into ministry and has spent a few years as a youth pastor in Colorado. We felt the call to France about three years ago but we know that God has been preparing us for European missions for a long time. During our time of fundraising, we had our fourth child, Elodie. We arrived in France in April of 2017 and spent a year in language school near Paris.
