Ben grew up on a dairy farm in Spring Valley, Wisconsin and was the first believer in his family coming to Christ as a freshman in high school through a local youth group. In college at UWEC, he was involved with the Navigators and connected deeply with Calvary Baptist Church from 2008-2013, before he moved away. 

Danielle grew up in Grafton, Wisconsin and came to a saving knowledge of Christ as a young girl at a Bible camp.  She connected with Calvary Baptist after returning from a mission trip to Cambodia in 2012.  She met Ben through mutual friends at Calvary in 2014. 

We got married in 2015 and joined the Navigators at UW-Madison and UW-Whitewater from 2016-2019 before launching a new Navigator ministry at UW-River Falls in the fall of 2019. We love working with college students and international students.  We have four children, Hudson, Levi, Bethany, Josie. 

General prayer requests: 

1) That our children would be found faithful before Him and we can raise them in the instruction and knowledge of the Lord. 

2) That God would multiply our efforts on campus and raise up laborers who will go to the ends of the earth. 

3) That our family would grow together in the grace and knowledge of Jesus
