Eli’s Biography
When I was seventeen years old the Holy Spirt began working on my heart that I wasn't saved while attending a church camp. I went right down with my Youth Pastor and got saved. Not long after I got saved, the Lord began working on my heart about full-ministry and preaching. I surrendered my life to full- time ministry and preaching at a service. After that I served in many different areas during Bible college and my home church. I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Pastoral ministry in 2019 and went to serve at my home church as the Outreach/Missions Director. Then God called us to become the Associate Pastor at Liberty Baptist Church in Lewisville, TX. At Liberty, I have served in the youth, children’s, and music ministries. God has now called me and my family to take the gospel to the needy country of Slovenia.
Mackenzie’s Biography
In 2015 at a youth conference, I was 17 years old, I realized i wasn’t truly saved. I met with my youth pastors wife and got it taken care of! About a year later I surrendered to full time ministry and decided to go to Heartland Baptist Bible College for one year and then went to Crown College for 3 semesters. After that I married Eli and we began serving in the ministry together.
Eli's Ministry Experience
Not long after I got saved, the Lord began working on my heart about full-ministry and preaching. At a service geared towards missions I realized that Jesus Christ gave His all for me, therefore my whole life needs to be about Him. I surrender my life to full-time ministry and preaching at that service. I served in bus ministry, children’s ministry, and Sunday school at my home church in South Charleston, WV. In fall of 2015, I began studying for the ministry at the Crown College of the Bible in Powell, TN. During my time at Crown, I served in the bus ministry, Sunday school, public school Bible clubs, and homeless ministry. I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Pastoral ministry in 2019 and went to serve at my home church for a year as the Outreach/Missions Director. In June 2020, God called us to become the Associate Pastor at Liberty Baptist Church in Lewisville, TX. At Liberty, I have served in the youth, children’s, and music ministries. God has now called me and my family to take the gospel to the needy country of Slovenia.
