Dear Friends,
We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you!
As many of you know, our missionary hearts have always been drawn to children and single mothers, especially to those who are impoverished, unreached, marginalized, and unloved, particularly orphans.

This dream was planted in Norha’s heart as a young child, as God gave her a vision of an orphanage on a mountaintop. Russell’s journey began while volunteering at an orphanage in S. Korea, where he felt his heart tugged and God whispering His purpose.

In 2012, our calling was affirmed during a mission trip to a Jamaican orphanage. God simultaneously spoke to both of us and told us it was time and our missionary journey officially began.

We have faithfully served in three countries, experienced incredible God moments, built wonderful friendships, and have been blessed with many whom we call family.

Throughout the years, in the busyness of our days, God continually reminded us of our true purpose: to love and care for orphans.

After Norha’s courageous battle with cancer, we felt called to return to the mission field, this time in Honduras. We could never have imagined what awaited us. God, our Waymaker and miracle worker, had gone before us. When we least expected it, our dream came to fruition.

With great joy, we announce that God has led us to our Promised Land! —or, in our case, Promise Home. We have the honor of loving and serving His orphaned children as full-time Directors of Children and Women’s Ministries Promise Home Honduras and Kenya.
Our journey of faith continues to grow with Big God-Dreams.

After much consideration and prayer, we have decided to embrace His calling and retire from AG World Missions.

However, we remain credentialed ministers with the Assemblies of God and will continue to serve as your Banana Missionaries. Though we have left the financial security we built over many years, we trust in our Provider and the One who calls us.

We hope and pray for your continued support on this incredible journey for God's Kingdom. We know God has great things in store, and we are excited to share these Big God-Dreams with you.

We look forward to your questions and comments.
