I (Lucas) heard the Gospel for the first time while attending a summer church camp in 1988. The camp speaker explained the Gospel in a simple fashion - that I was a sinner in need of forgiveness, and that forgiveness was only provided through my personal belief in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.
I went forward that night and placed my trust in Jesus Christ as my Savior and became His follower. 
I (Teresa) grew up going to church but I never heard or understood my need to personally know and believe in Jesus. I also heard the Gospel for the first time while attending a camp in 1992. After hearing and understanding the gospel, I answered an altar call and placed my trust in Jesus Christ as my Savior.
We were married during our sophomore year of bible college on August 10th, 1996 and both graduated from Faith Baptist Bible College in 1999 with Bachelor of Science degrees in Biblical Studies.
God has blessed us with three wonderful boys who keep us very busy, yet continually bring smiles to our faces.
Neither of us understood the tremendous implications the decision to trust in Jesus as our savior would have on our lives. He has lead both of us faithfully throughout our lives and He is now leading us to Brazil.
