Bio

Ben graduated from Christ For The Nations Institute’s third year missions program in 2007. He completed his first Timothy Internship Program with Go To Nations in Peten, Guatemala as part of a requirement for CFNI in 2008. During this TIP experience, God spoke clearly to Ben during his time in Honduras for a week of Children’s Ministry. Ben has a strong call on his life to “be a father to the fatherless”, this has been his life mission and a part of every decision and step he has taken since that day.

August 1, 2009, Ben and Kristina were married in Oregon and Ben was employed as a full-time Children’s Pastor and Media Director. He worked and ministered there for three years and then they decided it was time to take the next steps to the field!

In 2012 Ben and Kristina joined Go To Nations to become full-time missionaries! They completed the Timothy Internship Program in Peten, Guatemala as a married couple. The next step after partner development was to do a two-year apprenticeship in Honduras. Their first born daughter, Selena, was one year old at the time and they headed to Honduras.

Ben and Kristina absolutely loved their time ministering and being trained in Honduras. Their second-born daughter Gabi was born in Honduras and it was around that time that God had led them to return home to Oregon to be closer to family but they have always remained connected to Go To Nations through prayer and financial giving to missionaries. It was through this connection that kept Go To Nations and missions always on their mind and heart.

In 2025, Ben and Kristina sold everything and made the journey to Florida. After making the decision and taking the steps of faith God opened the door for Ben to join the World Headquarters staff as the Web Developer. Ben is committed to serving missionaries around the world through media, communications, financial support, and prayer.
