Both originally from Memphis, TN, I (Cameron) graduated from the University of Memphis in 2019 and Gretchen graduated from Mississippi State in 2020.

We first met each other at a Grace Evangelical Church event called Taste of Grace. It didn’t take long for things to get rolling with us as we got engaged 2 months into dating and married 3 months after that. Hey, you know when you know!

Shortly after marriage, we both got our first real starts in ministry. I became the Jr. High Minister at Grace Evangelical Church and Gretchen became the 8th Grade New Testament teacher at Briarcrest. Gretchen also helped me as a volunteer leader with the Jr. High Ministry. This was when we really fell in love with ministry.

It was also during this time that we felt the Lord leading us to consider doing ministry overseas. Over the course of the next two years, we spent lots of time seeking the Lord through prayer, His Word, and wise counsel over a call to overseas missions.

During this two year period, we felt the Lord had affirmed a calling to overseas missions as well as given us a heart for the Japanese people.

In August 2025, we will be moving overseas to Japan and partnering alongside Japan Mission, an organization focused on supporting the local Japanese church and evangelizing the lost.

Gretchen and I have one child: Sayler (2023). As a family, we love to go on walks, go to the zoo, and experiment in the kitchen as home cooks. One of our favorite nights is homemade pizza night!
