We both grew up in hard-working, blue-collar communities in Michigan. Tim came to know the Lord during his senior year of high school after struggling through a childhood of terminal muscular dystrophy and practicing Wicca for years. Jessie knew of Christ at an early age. However, it was not until college that she was radically saved, baptized in the Holy Spirit and began a deep relationship with the Lord.
We met in a music theory class at Grand Valley State University near Grand Rapids, Michigan. During college, we committed to following the Lord while attending and serving at Resurrection Life Church in Grandville.
We got married as we finished college, and moved to Arizona a few years later to start an electronics business. We recently graduated from Phoenix Seminary with a Master's of Arts in Ministry and are licensed by the Fellowship of Christian Assemblies.
Outside of ministry we enjoy off-roading around Arizona, computer programming, electronic design, and playing music.
