John and Rachel are missionary newlyweds that met while serving at 6:8 Ministries. In January 2024 they both moved down to Costa Rica separately and began their lives on mission. Each of them felt God called to serve and build His kingdom in Costa Rica after experiencing a short term mission trip.

Currently they are serving in Alajuelita where John is the Director of Mission Teams in the city and Rachel serves as the Director of Administration for the ministry. They share a passion for short term missions teams and the life change they can offer team members and local communities. Each of their lives were radically changed by a short term trip and they want others to experience the same freedom they have found. Their desire is to live a life pointed to Christ, where we must pick up our cross daily and follow after Jesus. The Christian life was never intended to be a carousel of normality but instead it should feel like a rollercoaster of faith. A life filled with high highs and scary twists and loops, but no matter what, it is rooted in who God is and who He created each of us to be.
