Brad believed the gospel as a freshman at Minnesota State University through the ministry of the Navigators. After a summer mission trip in France, Brad prayed the Lord would send him into missions again in His time. By faith, he moved to St. Louis where he met Patty in a missions Bible study and worked as a systems manager. They married in 1990 and joined Twin Oaks PCA.

Patty trusted Christ at the age of 13. She attended Eastern and Southern Illinois Universities where she was active with InterVarsity. Through an Urbana conference and a summer mission trip, God confirmed His call to missions. She served as a registered nurse for nine years and now homeschools three of their five children.

Brad and Patty serve as campus ministry leaders in South Africa with MTW and the Student Y ministry at the University of Capetown, which is a Reformed campus ministry that reaches out to future leaders. Their long-term goal is to train nationals to start a church-planting movement to reach the Hindus of Africa.
