Jared was born and raised in Pennsylvania where he grew up attending church. It was here that he first began to consider the need for more people to reach the unreached. Leah, on the other hand, was also born in Pennsylvania but grew up in Paraguay where her family served among a formerly unreached people group and as a part of the field leadership team. As a result, she too saw the same need first hand. Both Leah and Jared were challenged into missions at a young age which caused them to attend Ethnos360 Bible Institute together. It was here that they saw clearly through the Scriptures God’s heart to reach the world. Then, in 2014 Jared and Leah moved to Paraguay together with their two kids (Gabriel and Shiloh) where they had the great honor of serving among a people group. They moved to Canada in 2022 to help train others to make disciples of all nations.
