TJ & Charissa
How we met
Hello, Charissa and I (TJ) met at Bible college. One of the first things I noticed about Charissa was how excited she was to serve our Savior. We did a few ministries together during college and as we got to know each other, we found that we both wanted to be active in camping ministry as well as youth ministry.
Our Calling
Charissa and I were both excited about missions from a young age. From stories of amazing missionaries and the miraculous things God did with them, to mission trips, where we both (separately) were able to see God work in us, around us, and through us. In 2006 Charissa and I joined Mitch and Tami as missionary interns at Forward Bible Camp through InFaith. We were sent as missionaries and plan to continue being full-time missionaries until God tells us to do something else.
How we serve together
I enjoy having Charissa as my partner in ministry. As we have 5 kids now, she is extremely busy with family matters, but always helps in ministry as well. She is active in our staffing as well as volunteer appreciation through things like staffachinos. When I am prepping a sermon or lesson, Charissa helps me with application and object lessons. It is great to have my best friend at my side as we serve the Lord together.
