I thought I was a Christian, but when I was 19 my view of everything (Jesus, the Bible, Church, Christianity) came tumbling down. I found myself angry and confused as I questioned what I had been told all my life. Little did I know I was on the path to making my faith my own. I spent the next few years figuring out who God was and what I believed. By the time I was 21, I decided Jesus was the answer. Since then, God has taken me from the slums of India to the mountains of Africa. He's transformed my heart, strengthened my faith, and given me purpose beyond myself. My story has given me a passion for the next generation because I know firsthand how influential those first few years out of high school are. I can't wait for you to join us on this journey!

Robin and I met in high school and the Lord has blessed us with 25 years of marriage and two beautiful daughters. Bobbie Taylor is 20 and Hayley is 18. Robin and I both were both born in Ohio but met in Tennessee. We were raised in homes that loved the Lord and I consider us to be blessed beyond measure. Robin is a teacher, a mother, and my best friend. She loves the Lord deeply and has a mothers heart to clothe, feed, teach and care for the needy.
As a family we served 22 years in the US Army and in 9 combat rotations. After our military service we served as a US government contractor prior to our employment with Denver ChildrenȹƑƉs Hospital and The University of Colorado, through it all The Lord has poured out His blessings on us. No matter the season, good times or trial we know our Father in heaven has won our battles and as such we want others to know the Lord we know.
Were blessed to live in Colorado where we awake every day to the majesty of Our Saviors creation. My prayer for my family is that we spend every day centered in the LordȹƑƉs presence because if we do that, no matter where we are or what we go through we will be exactly where we are suppose to be.
