Brandyn Knight was saved at the age of 11 while attending revival meetings in Jerseyville, IL. While as a teenager, he felt the Lord's call to full time ministry, and began preparing for missionary work upon finishing high school.
 
Alicia placed her faith in Christ at the age of  six, and felt God leading her to full time ministry by the age of twelve.
 
Following graduation in May of 2010, from West Coast Baptist College, Brandyn and Alicia were married, and headed to Okinawa, While there, they interned on staff at the Maranatha Baptist Church (located just a mile from Kadena gate 3) for two years. After completing their internship, they  began the journey to embark in full time mission work, with a burden to minister to American militaryand  government personnel stationed in Japan.
