I (Billy) grew up in the suburbs of Minnesota and had never been exposed to Christianity until high school. During my freshmen year of college, God saved me when my friend's parents shared the gospel with me. I began to see the nature of my sin, even in my moral actions, and my need for Jesus and His payment on the cross. Soon after, a few older men on staff with Campus Outreach began spending time with me and discipled me. They taught me how to study the Bible, pray, and share the gospel. More than that, they shared their lives with me so I could imitate their lives and do the same for others.
Hannah grew up going to church but didn’t understand the gospel until her senior year of high school. It was then where she understood the depth of her sin and need for Jesus. Shortly after God saved her, she similarly had older women help her grow in her walk with God.
During college, we caught the vision of Campus Outreach and desired to give our lives investing in younger students. Years later, we still had the desire to bring the gospel to college students and made the decision to come on staff in 2018.
We met in St. Cloud and got married in 2016. We have three children: Luella (2017), Ellis (2019), and Wren (2020).
