After Jeff and Brooke married in April 2016, they decided to go on their first international mission trip together to Kenya. As God started to stir in their hearts to go to the nations, this led to a vision trip in 2018 and then putting their yes on the table to move to Kenya indefinitely in October 2019 with Freedom Global. Jeff started his own soccer ministry raising up five new Kenyan leaders and then discipling homeless men on the streets through soccer. Brooke worked at an all-girls Kenyan boarding school serving on the discipleship team, and also helping with marketing and scholarships for students at the school.

After serving in the field from 2019-2021 with Freedom Global, Jeff and Brooke met some Serge field workers in Kenya and decided to look into Serge as a long-term plan to continue serving the people of Kenya. Now having joined the Nairobi Serge team, Jeff will be serving as the Director of Operations with Ambassadors Football Kenya. Brooke will be helping with the Internship and Apprenticeship program in Nairobi.

They are excited to continue to serve the people of Kenya by showing Jesus' love through soccer, relational discipleship and hospitality. They have one daughter, Merritt, a son, Titus, and another baby boy on the way.
