Our story toward missions began when two young people said “Yes” to God’s call. Forrest grew up as a missionary kid, serving alongside his parents in Belarus and India. At just 13 years old, he felt the Lord call him to missions. His desire is that all people would hear the gospel and encounter the presence of God. Autumn, a pastor’s daughter, grew up faithfully serving in her local church. When she was only 8, God spoke to her heart and told her she was called to be a missionary- to share His love with people who have never experienced it. In 2012, their paths crossed at Church of His Presence in Daphne, Alabama, where Forrest has served on staff under Pastor John Kilpatrick for the past 15 years. They married in March 2017 and have since been blessed with three beautiful children—Lilly, Elliott, and Grant. Forrest and Autumn have always carried a deep desire to see lives and families transformed by the presence of God. Our family has prayed, served, and prepared for the day when the Lord would send them out. That time has come. Now, God is opening the door for their family to serve as career missionaries to Germany—a nation rich in history, yet in great need of spiritual renewal. Their heart is to see the lost saved, build genuine relationships, disciple believers, plant thriving local churches so that many will encounter the hope and truth found in Jesus.
