Ben, the son of a pastor and missionary, grew up in South America and felt called to missions from a young age. After moving from Bolivia to the U.S.A, he graduated from Moody Bible Institute, served as a youth pastor, and launched several young adult ministries across Florida.
Kara was born and raised in Clearwater, Florida, in a globally-minded church. She felt called to full-time missions at age 14 after her family hosted missionaries from South Africa. After high school, she completed a discipleship training program in Boston, MA, with a focus on evangelism through creative arts.
Ben and Kara serve to uplift marginalized communities in northern Ghana. They meet physical needs while pointing people to Christ, with a focus on planting churches and equipping Christ-centered pastors to thrive in their local contexts.
Ben serves as a Teaching Pastor at Tamale Interdenominational Church and helped launch a high school program where he preaches weekly. Most students come from Muslim families with little access to the gospel. Ben and Kara aim to mentor and disciple the next generation of church planters in northern Ghana.
