Elijah and Courtney met and then got married in the Democratic Republic of Congo in May of 2021. Shortly after their marriage, they found out that their family was expanding! Full of excitement, they flew to the USA to tell their family and then return to the DRC with plans to start a business, but the Lord had a different idea.

For two years the Lord asked them to stay in the USA and let him plan their future. While they waited they received two irreplaceable gifts from the Lord, the first being their son Joshua and the second being the vision they now call One By One Ministries. 

Together as a family, they plan to go into all the world teaching others about the good news of Jesus, the outrageous love of the Father, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
