Our Family

We met as babies.Both side of our parents were full-time missionaries and staff of Korea Campus Crusade for Christ (KCCC). We would play together as our parents engaged in ministry.As our families continued to follow God's call across the cities and the nations, we were separated and would only see each other roughly once a year during large ministry conferences.Both of us spent a year abroad as short term international missionaries and engaged in cross-cultural ministries among college students. Following God's invitation, we both took full-time staff training to be missionaries to the next generation. Moses took that step in Los Angeles, CA while Caris did it at Seoul, Korea.As we continued to pursue our calling, God has brought our paths together in unexpected yet beautiful ways. We are grateful to God for joining our lives together as one. In the presence of God and many witnesses, we joined our lives together in January 2015.God has blessed us with two children. God has given us a beautiful daughter - Jubilee (수아) born in April 2016. Then, God also gave us a son - Evan (찬영) in November 2018.
