She met John in 1991 and while they were dating he told her he was interested in missions. She told him she knew he was God's will for her life and wherever the Lord led him she was willing to go.
They originally were approved as missionaries through United Indian Missions. However, after a short-term ministry through Baptist Mid-Missions they left United Indian Missions for Baptist Mid-Missions.
