Roger grew up in Idaho and Damaris was born and raised in Guatemala. They both grew up in a Conservative Holiness church. Damaris' parents were Pastors for Emmanuel Foundation in Guatemala City where she first got her call from missions from a young age. Roger also received a called to missions at a young age and attended The Bible Missionary Church.
They both met in Guatemala on a Touching Lives for Christ trip. Soon after this trip Roger served in Nigeria, Africa for 6 months. They both attended Hobe Sound Bible College in Hobe Sound, Florida. They got married in October 1995 and lived in Nampa, Idaho until they left for the mission field. They have two daughters, Heather Eunice, and Kristen Isabella. They have both left home and are now in College. So we are now getting use to the “Empty Nester” feeling.
In 2016 they left for the mission field and are currently serving on the Norcentral field. Roger is the Work and Witness corrdinator and Damaris is the Compassionate ministries coordinator. We feel that God has blessed us exceedingly allowing us to serve on this field.
