Paul and Lorie have been married since 2003 and have two children:  Rylie and Hudson.  They met at Toccoa Falls College, where they both studied Cross-Cultural Studies with the intent of working full-time overseas with the C&MA.  They were missionary candidates with the C&MA until their daughter was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and were unable to go overseas.  They have served in C&MA churches and ministries full-time since 2004.  Paul has served as Youth Pastor, Missions Coordinator, and Assistant Camp Director.  After accepting the fact they would not be going overseas themselves, God continued to keep missions on their hearts and lead them in a direction of mobilization.  When they were presented with the opportunity to be Envision Site Coordinators in Cleveland, it became clear that this was the direction God was leading them.  It is not exactly what THEY “envisioned” when they answered God’s call to missions all those years ago, but it IS what God had in mind all along.
