Jonathan and Simone began their journey together in missions after marrying in summer 2018 and now have four kids- Axel, Ava, Rhema, and Cruz. As a couple they both been marked with a heart for the nations and have a passion to see Jesus made known.

Growing up in a missionary family, Jonathan has had extensive experience in world missions since a young age. Since joining YWAM in 2009, he has been ministering in different nations around the globe using evangelism, church planting, compassion ministry, and training. He currently serves as the training director of the missions center in Kansas City.

When first experiencing a taste of the nations in 2012, Simone was deeply impacted with God's heart for Uganda, and would never be the same. The following year she joined YWAM with Fire and Fragrance since then has ministered in 27 countries across the world bringing leadership to teams of missionaries being sent out. Carrying a heart of compassion for those who are unreached, the poor, the fatherless, and women in need she longs to see every heart turned to Jesus.
