We both came to know Christ through people who had been influenced by The Navigators. We were then involved in The Navigators ministry on our campuses and joined the staff after we graduated. We served in the collegiate ministry for nine years at Kansas University and then at the University of Nebraska. We moved into what was then the Community Ministry and ultimately elected to be part of NavWorkplace. We want to advance the Gospel of Jesus and His kingdom into the nations through spiritual generations of laborers, living and discipling among the lost. We want to raise up and assist those who will adopt this vision for their lives in their personal marketplace environment.
