Our Story
Once upon a time, Nathan and I met.. in Narnia. Well, we met outside the movie theatre to see The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. We were both attending the same church, and so through our involvement there, we found ourselves in more and more mutual circumstances. For the next two years, we grew in our friendship and came to know each other pretty well. As much as I enjoyed and respected Nate as a friend, I didn’t really foresee anything coming of us beyond friendship – he was in and out of town on a Christian Ministry band tour, and I was attending college for Engineering. Our paths weren’t exactly colliding.

Eventually I realized that Engineering was not for me, and somehow that Hebrew is (thanks God!), and so then switched my major. Naturally I started planning to study abroad in Israel.
Nate is passionate about film and missionary work. At this same time in his life, he was waiting for a door to open for him to leave and do missionary work, but didn’t know where, and didn’t know when. One day, he got a call from an old time family friend whom Nate hadn’t heard from in ten years, and in the next moment he was on his way to Israel as a part of a film crew.

Nate and I were both in Israel at the same time, and largely thanks to a mutual close friend of ours, Jamie, who was also there, we were able to spend lots of time together… and to fall in love!
We started dating soon after I went home, and found that God has brought us together for a covenant relationship. We are eager to enjoy marriage together for the rest of our lives!
What we are up to now
I have spent the last couple years traveling to and from Israel with a crew of a few others as we've set out to make films about the historical reliability of the Bible. With Whitney as my new wife (herself with a degree in Hebrew from OSU) we plan on moving to Israel indefinitely to continue making films for a series we are producing called Expedition Bible. Expedition Bible is a series of half hour long episodes that are designed to confront this world with legitimate evidence to support the Bible as the Word of God. You can check out our first release "The Jesus Tomb Unmasked" on www.ExpeditionBible.com. (Kayaking the Sea of Galilee - Capernaum, Israel)
While in Israel, Whitney plans to attend graduate school to further her Hebrew studies in pursuit of her dream to teach little kids Biblical Greek and Hebrew so they can better understand the scriptures for themselves. We would love and appreciate your prayers and support as we make this huge transition to Israel in the next several months!
