MISSIONS

We are Hodge and Tiffany. Married in 2010 and fortunate enough to experience many adventures along the way. We are dada and mama to Zeke, Zoey, Ziya, and Zans. 

At different points in our lives, we both felt called by God to live and work overseas in ministry settings, and in His providence, He used our individual passions to bring us together. While Hodge was pastoring a church in Tennessee and finishing his masters in seminary, we started to pursue a job with the IMB. A couple of years after that, we found ourselves moving to Portugal, a country that is less than 2% protestant. Our city is roughly 100,000 people, and at the time, it had no protestant churches. Since 2013, we have seen the Holy Spirit move and work in profound ways. With an ever-increasing desire and passion to share the truth and hope of Jesus with those around us, we are honored and thrilled to be doing so among the Portuguese people.

In 2016, we left the IMB and the Lord led us to start our fundraising journey. That same year, we were able to plant the first protestant church in our city, which meets once a week in our home. We truly enjoy the simple yet enriching life that we have come to know in Portugal. The people are absolutely some of the kindest that we have met, and the cultural differences have grown on us as we smile and simply state, “That’s just the Portuguese way”.

We are incredibly thankful for the love and support that we receive from so many back in the States so that we can live and minister among the Portuguese, and we are overwhelmed and full of gratitude because of the friendships that the Lord has blessed us with in Portugal, a place that has truly become home to us. Please consider supporting us as we reach the Portuguese with the Gospel!
