Meet the team

Brian and Nancy Wagner

They have a God-given sense of team building, as they are always thinking about others, remembering important prayer requests, and making sure everyone knows what is going on in the team. Nancy’s gift of hospitality shows as she always makes sure our place is clean and welcoming to the team and the children, and Brian’s acute sense of organization has helped us steer in the right direction many times.

Patrick, Charity, and Lily Kelly

They are part of the Kelly clan and are incredible as individuals, but an amazing force as a family. Patrick and Lily are always ready to jump into a crazy kid’s game and hang out with the kids, as well as Patrick sharing the love of Jesus in small group times. Charity has shown love many times as she dedicates time to ready a craft for the kids and patiently guide them through the process.

Miguel and Issa Jacobo (and Judah and Esmeraldita)

They have served Bridgeton since before this all begun. Either through advocacy, financial education, or helping build a playground, God’s love for this community has been poured through them. We are so glad to have you serving together with your little ones.

Rich and Barbara Moran

They have a great deal of experience witnessing what God can do in different contexts, as they have been involved in hosting, sending, supporting, and receiving missionaries from around the world, as well as in their local church. Rich and Barbara can spot the work of God right away, and in our team, they make sure that no child or staff’s birthday or anniversary goes unnoticed.

Linda Couch (Just retired from the ministry)

God has gifted Linda with a great heart for children. It is truly beautiful to see how the kids respond to her sweet voice, as they become still and quiet to listen either in lesson or craft time.

Her faithfulness to love our team and the children is a true testament of God’s love in her.

Connie and David (Spike) Jones

They love Bridgeton! They love children! They love Jesus! This should say it all, but there is more: Connie and Dave love sharing the love of Jesus together with the team.

Either through music, lesson, or small group, they will make sure the children know they are loved unconditionally. They also will open their house as the usual center for team gatherings and Spiritual refreshment.
