Meet the Family . . .
Paul (Dad)--
​
As the father of the family, my role in our ministry is scheduling the concerts and preaching the gospel halfway through our concerts. I also order supplies for our gospel gift bags and help distribute bags and tracts.
I grew up in a Christian home and was saved at an early age. I’m excited to see how God will use our family in the future.

Jenny (Mom)--
​
Overflowing. That is probably the best word to describe my life as a follower of Jesus, a wife, and a mom. As a follower of Jesus, I am overflowing with joy that no matter what happens in this life, I know I can look forward to an eternity in Heaven with the One Who died for me and saved me from my sin. As a wife, I am overflowing with thankfulness for a husband who loves Jesus, loves me, and loves our kids. He is my best friend and I love that we can have this crazy, exciting life together. As a mom, I am overflowing with the wonderful work of teaching and guiding my kids to live for Jesus and to know and appreciate Him through learning about His incredible creation. And of course, being all of these things on the road means my life is overflowing with activities—sometimes the exhilarating kind, but also sometimes the harrowing or chaotic kind! I love every minute of it—ok, almost every minute—and every day I look forward to the next discovery.
​
Joe--
​
It’s hard for me to sit still. I love to go. I guess that’s why I love adventure. As a family traveling full-time in an RV, we get to experience every category of adventure. Helping back in the trailer in the pouring rain, hiking over mountain passes, fly fishing in rushing streams, watching the trailer almost roll down a mountain—there’s always enough activity to keep me on my toes.
Just like traveling, following Christ is a life-altering adventure. When I gave my life to the Lord Jesus at age six, I knew that everything would be different from then on (Phil. 1:6). Now, I want everything in my life to bring glory and honor to Him. I love staying busy for Jesus! Right now, that means maintaining our website, keeping track of materials we use for ministry (Gospel tracts, Gospel gift bags), and playing the banjo and speaking for our traveling band, the Sandy Feet Singers. In all of this, I want Matthew 28:18-20 to be the guiding principle of my life. Jesus says “Go!”
​
Kelly--
​
Hi! My name is Kelly, and I write stories for our website. I love Jesus, I love kids, and I love stories—so this is the perfect role for me. I believe stories are a great way to teach kids about God and the Bible—because no one is too young to hear it! Why not use stories to teach kids about the greatest story of all—and it’s a true story!—that Jesus came to earth to take the punishment for our sins on Himself, be buried, and come alive again? I am so thankful to the Author of this amazing story for saving me from my sin, and I hope He will do the same for everyone who reads my stories. In the words of Jesus, “Let the little children come!” (Matthew 19:14).
​
Daniel--
​
Hi! My name is Daniel, and I am the “middle child.” I enjoy taking walks and having adventures in God’s creation. The beauty of nature thrills me! I’m an artist, and I love to capture the beauty of God’s world in my art.
I asked Jesus into my heart years ago. I don’t know exactly when I prayed, but I do know that my life has changed. Jesus is everything to me. I want to show Him my gratitude for what He’s done in my life. I give out Gospel tracts with my family. Sometimes this is very scary, but I know God is with me, helping me to love the people I reach.
My family and I also make our own tracts, and I enjoy painting attractive scenes for the fronts. I’m so happy for the opportunity to use the talents God has given me to reach the lost!
​
Joshua--
​
Hello! My name is Joshua. I help with making “messages in a bottle.” We write the Gospel on a strip of paper, roll it up, and put it in a small bottle and cork it up. Then, we hide it for people to find. I also like to write for the kids’ page on our website.
I am the mandolin player in our band. When I’m not practicing or doing schoolwork, I enjoy hiking and fishing, and doing anything outside. When I’m inside, I like doing paracord projects.
​
Caleb--
​
Hi! My name is Caleb and I’m the youngest in our family. My jobs are hiding bottles, which have the Good News of Jesus inside them, and helping with tracts. I love to do this because I love Jesus. I also love spending time with my family and learning about animals.
