Two Nazarene preacher's kids met at Olivet Nazarene University and were married in December 1987.  Anthony and Jody have five children:  Kelsea (19), Jilian (18), Kodiak (15), Caleb (12) and Abraham (2).  Anthony is from southern Indiana.  Jody was born in Virginia and grew up in Florida, Louisiana and Illinois.  They served our nation in the Army for 20 years before moving to Lubbock in 2007.  They have lived in San Angelo and San Antonio as well as Massachusetts, North Carolina, Alaska, Georgia, Arizona and Kansas.  Anthony has also served in Korea, Bosnia and Kuwait.  We believe children can come to Christ at a young age and it can last for eternity.  We enjoyed serving our country and now are enjoying being in the ranks of the Lord's Army.  Bring your children to play in the backyard with God's Backyard Kids.  They will have fun and while doing so will learn to worship God and work on fulfilling the purpose for which we were created.
