her work in nursing), Kyle (a teacher and graduate of Central Michigan University), Samuel

(a Sophomore Criminal Justice major), Jacob (a 16 year old High School Sophomore), and Sophia (age 8).

Their burden and passion is to see the end time church come into and remain in true “Vival” and

see the nations of the earth reached with the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
