Danny and Stephanie are people people.
Serving others in ministry, marriage, and missions is what makes their heart sing. Danny and Stephanie have served churches and organizations throughout the United States and Latin America for the last two decades, connecting people to healthy community and life-giving purpose through the local church as well as larger church networks.

They currently reside in Minnesota and have two young adult daughters.
