About Joel & Kim

We were married in May 2002 and have known for years now that we wanted to be missionaries, Kim since she was 10 years old and Joel since college. God has brought our lives together to serve Him in any aspect we can. God has given us the vision to start a home for at risk children and a medical clinic in Ecuador, South America. This blog gives you a look into our lives and dreams. We know that we are simple people and often feel like Moses making excuses why others would be better equipped for His purpose. However, we cling to the promises that God has given us and we know that if God has called us, He will also equip us. Happy reading!
