Our Roots

Where We Come From

What began in 1991 in a small town in the foothills of the Ural Mountains has carried us across more than three decades and over 35 countries.

For over 25 years we walked alongside Drs. Kevin and Leslie McNulty and the Christian Adventures International family — serving as their International Event Directors, organizing mass tent outreaches across Eurasia and the former Soviet Union, and from 2006 onward helping the McNultys coordinate worldwide crusades for Dr. T.L. Osborn, under whose preaching we also grew tremendously. Nearly everything we know about ministry, we learned in their company.

We continue building on this strong heritage — with deep gratitude for those who shaped us, and hearts still open to walk together as God unfolds this next chapter.

The Route

The Road We're Walking

August 2 – late September 2026 · Departing Orlando, FL

God has touched our hearts and called us to move toward that part of the world where He Himself is leading us. We don't yet know the whole journey — we can't see how far the road stretches or exactly where the Lord will want to use us. But we see what matters, and we're sure of it: the time has come to go where He is calling. To go where there are people who need what God has placed within us. We want to understand how and in what ways we can serve them.

We know this is only the beginning — the beginning of something new. And we're certain that with God, so much is possible. With Him, even mountains move. With all our hearts, we want to be obedient to Him.

Dear friends, thank you — for believing in us, for praying for us, and for wanting to walk this road together with us. May the Lord bless you!

Walk With Us

A growing team is walking this road with us — not on the plane, but in prayer and in partnership. Every role matters.

🙏 Pray · 💰 Give · 📬 Subscribe · 📢 Share

Financial Partnership

Our support covers flights, housing, ground transport, insurance, and two months of home expenses while we serve in six countries. We're trusting God for every provision — and we're asking specific people to walk this with us.

Support is coming together Still room to walk with us

We're most of the way to full support — a few more partners will carry us home.

The Partnership Challenge

We're asking 40 people — we call them The 40 — to walk with us as monthly partners from July through October, the four months that cover preparation, the journey, and the first weeks home. At $50/month, forty partners would carry the heart of what we still need. One-time gifts close the rest.

This isn't only about the budget. The forty are who we're building with — beyond this trip, into whatever God opens next.
