Who we are

We live in the Dominican Republic and work with Young Life International. Jake works at Pico Escondido, a Young Life camp that serves Dominicans in this country as well as work teams from the states. We are both currently volunteers with Vida Joven, YL in Spanish, and I (Kyla) am a full-time mom. We want to keep you informed about our lives and our ministry as well as share some encouragement along the way. Read more to find out what God has been doing in our lives!

Jake's birthday
















For Jake's birthday, I gave him the gift of kiteboarding lessons. He was stoked. He has wanted to learn this sport ever since we moved here and he saw kiteboarders on the beach. Last weekend he became one of the world's best kiteboarders that have ever walked the planet, he went where only thousands had gone before, he conquered the ocean and only hit one person with his kite, broke his own kite, and may have injured his pinky. This may or may not have been a partial truth, but he did learn to kiteboard in an amazingly small amount of time, which meant he also swallowed a lot of sea water. Here are the pics to prove it...
