First off…this WAS NOT part of the plan! Growing up Aaron wanted to be a lawyer, and Denise wanted to be a nurse. God had already changed those plans as Aaron is a banker and Denise is a stay at home mom. Though Aaron does get to do a lot of arguing and making points…..with the kids and Denise definitely gets to play nurse plenty with 4 kids in the house, including two very rambunctious boys!
Aaron grew up in a small town in Scott County, Tn. He was raised in church and became a Christian at the age of 8. His years of schooling lead him into banking where he remains at the moment until the Lord is ready to send them off to Berlin.
Denise grew up in Memphis, TN. She became a Christian just 2 weeks before her 23rd birthday. Her life had been filled with a lot of ups and downs up to that moment. She grabbed a hold of Jesus and never looked back. Now she too anxiously awaits the day the Lord allows them head off to Berlin, Germany.
