We are Chris, Madeline, Gloria, Levi, and Luke Yancey. We have been serving in Ecuador since 2019. We married in 2014. Gloria was born in 2018, Levi was born in 2021, and Luke was born in 2022. 

Chris visited Ecuador on a short-term mission trip during college and felt called to pursue missions and ministry as a result of how God moved him on that trip. Chris and Madeline met a couple of years later, and after visiting Ecuador Madeline answered the call to serve God cross-culturally as well.

Chris holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (2010) and an M.Div. from Beeson Divinity School (2013). Madeline holds a B.A. in English from Samford University (2013). Prior to serving in Ecuador, Chris and Madeline were teachers at a private school in Atlanta, GA. Prior to that, Chris served as a youth pastor at his local church and Madeline taught at a public school.
