Brad received Jesus as Lord in the late 1960’s as a young child and Jodi received the Lord in 1983 while she attended Whitworth College. Both Brad and Jodi have had trials in their lives that helped to refine and develop their faith. Both were raised in broken homes. In addition, in 1982 Jodi was healed of cancer. As a result they have learned that God is more that enough to sustain them through life’s difficulties.

Outside of ministry Jodi has had a career in nursing and Brad has a career in finance. Brad and Jodi have served the Lord in ministry during their prior church experiences through various roles. These have included men’s and women’s’ ministry leaders, teachers of evangelism, children’s’ ministry and leading numerous home fellowship groups. Jodi has also done mission trips to Mexico and Russia. Brad has also served as an Elder and in other board level leadership roles in their last two churches throughout the last ten years.

In December 2007 they felt led by the Lord to make a change from their previous church affiliation to become a part of His great new work at Zion’s Gate. Their passion is to see lives transformed and set free by His love, mercy and grace. They both possess a tremendous heart for the Lord and a desire to serve Him by helping others.

They desire to see significant manifestations of His presence and a full outpouring of His giftings through His servants in the body of Christ. Brad and Jodi serve on Zion’s Gate Pastoral Care Team. They have two wonderful boys and have been married eleven years.
