Travis graduated from Harding University with a major in Missions and a minor in English. Lauren graduated with a degree in Graphic Design. They were married in May 2008 and are now living in Searcy, AR, where they are in their final stages of preparing to move to Tanzania. Lauren has been working full-time at Downtown Church of Christ, and Travis has been working part time in A/V productions while also pursuing a master’s degree at Harding University Graduate School of Religion in Memphis. Their passion for work in Africa is rooted deeply as both Travis and Lauren were raised, until the age of 9, in East Africa. The couple has a deep passion for people and, above all, breaking God’s rule into the shadowy corners of the world, in America and abroad.
