Chris and Daniela grew up on opposite sides of the world; Chris in a small town in north Georgia, USA and Daniela in northern Germany. They meet in Germany while Chris was stationed there with the US Army and were married in October 1999. Since then the Lord has blessed them with two boys of their own and has allowed them to adopt their daughter from Russia two years ago. In 2007 both Chris and Daniela recognized the call to serve the Lord as career missionaries and even though they really did not know what that meant exactly they started preparing themselves for full time service. In June 2010 they were appointed to join the SEND Spain team and they look forward to be serving the Lord in Spain as Church planters and hope to depart for the field by summer 2012.
