Brice was born September 9, 1983; he is two minutes older than his twin brother, Blake. Brice gave his life over to Christ sometime in middle school, but it wasn’t until his freshman year of college that his faith really took off. He was accepted into Texas A&M’s school of engineering, and he had planned to room with his best friend from high school. When those plans fell through, he went pot luck and ended up with a strong Christian roommate. That roommate told him about a Christian camp called Impact that was put on by Christian students at A&M; the camp encouraged freshmen to have a solid foundation in Christ. Brice fell madly in love with the Lord during his Impact camp experience, and it changed his priorities forever. The summer before Brice’s senior year of college, he landed an internship at his dream engineering company. By the end of the summer, the company had offered him a job. After returning to school that Fall, Brice began wrestling with a desire to teach the Word. He sought wisdom from a mentor who suggested he start a Bible study on campus. During the Bible study, Brice felt an even greater call into ministry. Finally, he couldn’t fight the desire anymore, and he submitted to following what looked like a call. Once he had committed to the ministry, he receieved the formal contract for the engineering company that night. He turned it down.

Jeni was born February 5, 1983. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she and her mom moved in with her grandparents. She grew up very close to her grandparents, so she was devestated when her grandmother passed away the day before the Senior prom. Jeni moved away to college that next Fall, but she was very depressed. She had made the college dance team, and one of the girls on the dance team shared the Gospel with her. Jeni had heard it all before, but there was something different about hearing the Gospel that time; there was so much hope offered in a time when she was at rock bottom. Jeni wrestled with the idea of God for about a year. She tried partying away the pain with her new college friends, but it never made her feel any better. On the one year anniversary of her grandmother’s death, Jeni helped plan a party in the dorm, hoping to forget the grief. The next morning, she felt more depressed than ever and finally gave her life over to Christ, begging him to fix the pain. Jeni moved home from college that summer and began waiting tables at Chili’s. Her trainer at Chili’s turned out to be a Christian and became a wonderful discipler. Jeni was baptized on October 13, 2002.

Jeni graduated from the University of Houston in 2006 with a degree in history and journalism. Brice graduated May 2007 with his degree in mechanical engineering. They moved up to Louisville for Brice to pursue Seminary in July 2007. They both love board games, beaches and their Beagle, Calvin.
