Our Story

Ale and I have been friends since 2010! We met in college when we did not know the Lord and after sharing a few years of reckless college life, the Lord in His kindness saved me in 2014 and shortly after that He saved her! She's always been a sounding board, a wise friend and the biggest arrow I have that points me to my Savior. 
Te amo herma.

My favorite Barbie! 
Met at a biblical counseling conference in 2018 but our friendship solidified summer of 2020.  You're an encourager through and through, very patient and kind. Thankful for you Bobby. 

Amanda Hovey

Bekah and I met at PBC! She’s been a faithful, steady friend and sounding board during my relationship with Chad. Thankful to have you be my bridesmaid B!!

Breanna is Chad's TWIN sister and my future sister in law! She is married to Seth Jacobs and they have Zeke who is 2 years. Bree is also expecting another little one who will be with us in October Lord Willing! I am very thankful for how she has invested in Chad's life and now I get the privilege to be blessed by that.

My fashion and travel buddy, once a year visit, hot pink/purple lover and the only person I am willing to break my coffee fast for (aside from Chad). Carol and I met in Texas in 2015. We had not really hung out when she asked me to drive up to Minnesota. We had no option but to bond over 24 hour drive with a minimum stop at McDonald's to fake sleep for 30 minutes. 
I'd do it all over again but I'd bring ibuprofen and a heating pad since our body's have aged. 
Love you Jessica.

Carol Carlton

I could start crying. You mean so much to me!
Elisa and I met 2019 but we did not become friends until she became my RA during the COVID year. 
One of the highlights of that year was having you become one of my closest friends.  Love you stinker. 
Thank you for helping Chad deal with me. I trained you well ;) 

Elisa Hurley

Mi frito bonito. 
We have been friends since 2019 but got closer when she moved into my apartment for 2 months! She is my little piece of Mexico while at Master's. Te quiero Fri, thank you for exemplifying patience and godliness.

Majo and I met in college and were party friends. Sometime during our last year of college, the Lord saved her and used her in my life to bring me to Him. She was the second person I called to say that I was following Jesus and the first thing she told me was “praise the Lord Adri, I’ve been praying for you” Te quiero maji! Gracias por estar!!

Trent and I met first year of college in southern California at The Master's University and came to find out that we grew up miles from each other in Oregon.   Trent is like a brother to me, and we've been through a lot together (16 years).  We've been roommates, traveled the world together, ran half marathons together, and Trent has been a most faithful, loyal, and true friend who has consistently pushed/challenged me to grow.

Andy and I met our freshman year of college at The Master's University.  Andy and I have been good friends over the years, but have become brothers and much closer these last 3 years as the Lord has tried and challenged us through difficult life circumstances.  In this period, Andy has been my most encouraging and consistent friend.  

Andy Hegg

Lance was the first person I met and first friend I made in College at the Master's University.  We instantly connected and bonded over our mutual affinity for ultra baggy clothing, rap music, and sports.  Lance has continued to be a faithful friend and brother over these last 16 years.

Taylor and I go quite a ways back, to the elementary school days where you threaten to "not invite them to your birthday party" when you're mad.  Taylor is my cousin from my mother's side of the family, and is also one of my best and closest friends.   While we grew up together when we both lived down in Los Angeles from 2014-2017.  

Taylor Stafford

Vic and I met in college at the Master's University.   Vic has been one of my closest friends over the years, but also the one who has helped/challenged me the most in my career in sales.  From our days in the Master's recruiting office where we'd call on prospective high school students, to working sales at a dental supplier, we've both challenged and encouraged the other to grow as sales professionals.  

Vic Martinez

John is the older brother I never had.   John and I first met over the phone as he was my college admissions counselor.  We formed a friendship over the years, during which I was his admissions intern.  From there, we roomed on and off for about 5 years.  John has been a true and faithful brother these last 16 years. 

John Spring

Haron and I met and became close friends between our Junior and Senior years of college at the Master's University.  We both served in Jacksonville, FL for One Seventeen Ministries which reaches the youth in impoverished and rough neighborhoods across the country.  Haron is a brother and faithful friend, who now pastors in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.  

Haron Kaisa

Luke and I have been close friends since 8th grade.  Some of my favorite memories are camping in the Jefferson Wilderness area of Oregon back in high school.   We've both moved all over the country but have continued to stay in touch and now both live and attend the same church and Bible study in Portland, OR.
