Danny and Stephanie are people people.
Serving others in ministry, marriage, and missions is what makes their heart sing. Danny and Stephanie have been married for 25 years and have served churches and organizations throughout the United States and Latin America for the last two decades. They love connecting people to healthy communities and life-giving purpose through the local church and church networks.
Their passion is being present, and their fuel is being a part of stories of change through marriage ministry, life coaching, speaking and teaching, missions, hosting retreats for pastors and missionaries, or developing small group resources.
Danny and Stephanie have served in marriage ministry for the last 20 years as conference speakers, retreat leaders, and leaders of several marriage ministries in local churches. They served as missionaries for 12 years based in Lima, Peru. Danny & Stephanie continue to serve pastors and missionaries globally through their nonprofit, Footrock, and both speak Spanish fluently as a second language. They currently reside in Minnesota and have two young adult daughters.
