Silvester
I was born and raised in Uganda. I spent most of my of childhood between my grandma, mom, boarding schools, family members and a private foster system. I gave my life to Jesus in 2009, however, I rededicated my life to Christ in 2023 as I continue to pursue a closer relationship with Him. I believe God is using my past as a way for me to love and serve others in their brokenness and point them to the grace, forgiveness, and freedom we receive through Jesus.
Ps. I have new found love for the game of pickleball!

Silvester
I was born and raised in Ohio, USA. I met Silvester at a bible study while I was serving at the Watoto Baby Home in Uganda. I returned to Uganda after 1 year to continue serving in ministry and growing in our relationship. We got married in 2015 in Uganda and moved to Ohio in 2016. I enjoy making a house into a home, traveling, a warm campfire, games, art, and reading a good book.

Zane

Luna
Zane arrived in May of 2023 at almost nine pounds and over 20 inches long.
We love the names that God put on our hearts as a reflection of what we see in Him and what we pray for him.
Zane is a Swahili name for well born, noble man and means "God is gracious" in Hebrew. He truly is God's gracious gift to us and a testament to God's faithfulness and goodness.
