We are preparing to build a home, and eventually a guest cabin, in the woods of North Carolina, where we hope to host and pour into missionaries and ministry workers going through stress, transition, loss and illness.
We both grew up as missionary kids. Cody grew up in Bolivia where his parents worked in the Yuqui tribe and at Tambo, the mission school. Beka grew up at a Missionary Training Center where her parents prepared missionaries to serve in unreached tribes.
At a young age, God challenged both of us to follow Him wherever he leads, especially concerning the many people groups around the world with little or no access to the Word of God in their own language.
We both attended New Tribes Bible Institute after High School to develop a deeper understanding of Scripture. In preparation to serve overseas, Cody then went to school for aviation maintenance and Beka pursued medical training. We got married in 2013 and lived in Sanford, FL, working to build a firm foundation for our family and saving up for missionary training. Cody worked as an aircraft mechanic at the Sanford airport and Beka worked on an ambulance and on Volusia County’s Sheriff/Aeromedical helicopter. We graduated from New Tribes Mission's Training Center for Cross-Cultural Ministry in Missouri, then Cody completed missionary flight training with Moody Aviation in Spokane while Beka worked on a critical care helicopter/fixed-wing servicing Central Washington.
We completed aviation orientation with Ethnos360 Aviation in May 2020. While we were there, we received training in aircraft maintenance, advanced mountain flying and short-field landings. We served for a short time on the Ethnos360 Aviation team in Papua New Guinea, then returned to the USA during a difficult pregnancy and needed to remain state-side to address our new baby's complex medical needs. Over the next three years, our family went through several health challenges, including brain swelling, heart arrhythmias, tumor surgery, and chronic migraines. During this time, we served on staff at the Homes of Ethnos360, where Cody used his mechanic background to run the garage and repair shop and Beka began speaking and writing books.
This year, we are transitioning into our new role with Ethnos360 Member Care, where our focus will be providing care, counseling tools, and encouragement to missionaries working to bring the Gospel to new people groups all over the world.
