Ben and Judy met at Messiah College in 1980. Two years later we were married at the college chapel. We lived in a mobile home in nearby Dillsburg, PA and worked in Harrisburg.
Our first child, Timothy, was born in Zaire in 1985 while we were serving there as volunteers. Tim became a follower of Jesus at age 6. He has always had a special love for nature and the outdoors. As a youngster he enjoyed catching lizards and bugs. Later, he had an aviary with many kinds of birds as well as a pet cockatiel. He has a special place in his heart for children and youth, and he played an important part in our ministry to young people. He is also very clever with computers and video, and along with his brother, he has produced some very entertaining video clips. He is currently studying nursing at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee.
Our second child, Joshua, was born in Maryland while we were serving as youth leaders there. Josh became a follower of Jesus shortly after Tim. As a young believer, one of his great accomplishments was developing a personal discipline called "Quest" which helped to stretch his faith. Josh is our analytical thinker who has a knack for figuring things out. He is very keen in math and science, and very advanced in his computer skills. Josh is currently studying engineering at Union University. He recently spent a semester in northeastern China on a study exchange.
Our third child, Joy, was born in Vermont while we were planting the church there. Joy has been a follower of Jesus for many years now, and in recent years she has made dramatic growth. She loves people and has a heart of compassion for needy people and children. She also loves to draw and is very skilled in graphic arts. Joy is in 10th grade and has many friends at her school. She hopes to work as a missionary someday.
