Who are we?

Our story begins when two teenagers, one in Georgia and one in Texas, both responded to Jesus when He called them to “do what He wanted them to do and go where He wanted them to go.”

After graduating from the University of Georgia with a degree in Agricultural Economics, Daniel spent two years as a missionary in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Growing up as a farm boy in south Georgia, Daniel had no idea that hunting in Africa was possible.

He was ready to give up even his love for hunting. But in a beautiful surprise, God returned to Daniel what he had so willingly sacrificed, and Daniel fell in love with hunting in Africa.

Returning to America to go to seminary, he also fell in love with Sky and after he completed a Master of Divinity degree, we moved to Zambia in 2004 as career missionaries with the IMB.

At the remote edge of civilization, we set up a tent on the banks of the Zambezi River. That “Sam’s Club” tent would be our home for the next 18 months as Daniel built our tree house on stilts.

For 10 years, we battled crocodiles, hippos, elephants and the spiritual forces which did not want the Lozi to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. We taught the Word and prayed fervently.

We also enjoyed an occasional hunting holiday and feasted on our “organic, free-range, hormone-free, grass-fed, hand-processed meat!”

In 2014, with three babies in tow, we moved to a small farming town in South Africa. Three years later, we moved to the bustling capital city of Pretoria, South Africa.

Here, with our children River Belle (16), Country (14), Savanna (12), we have planted our lives as missionaries, focusing on evangelism and discipleship in house churches.

We have recently retired from the IMB, but we can never retire from what the Lord has called us to… to be bold witnesses and faithful disciples for Him.

For the past 22 years, we have marveled at the amazing animals in the African bush. We have enjoyed hunting with our children and teaching them to process the meat around the table on our back porch.

We joyfully share our game meat with our ministry partners and national believers. Meet244 is our new avenue to be more intentional with what we are already doing.

Protein is a rare luxury for most of our ministry partners and the children and widows they help. But it doesn’t have to be. By supporting Meet 244, you are meeting the need for meat! Our national partners and the vulnerable need meat for strong minds and bodies.

They also need spiritual meat (teaching from the Bible) for their souls. Partner with our family as we meet physical and spiritual needs for God’s glory!
