Rachel and Shanthini Met at a homeschool co-op at their church. As their kids became close friends, Rachel and Shanthini began to spend time together and discovered that as different as they were, there was much that drew them together- a love for God and His word, they both love people, and are both often characterized as being chatterboxes. God drew them together in ministry as for the past 10 years they have been prayer partners, led discipleship groups together and taught together in Guatemala, India and in Oman.
