Director of Training, Stephen Gant
Co-Director of Training, Gina Gant

Stephen and Gina have been happily married since 2011. They have two daughters Ashton Smith and Gabrielle Johnson.  God began to deal with Steve and Gina about serving in Guyana while he was a student in college, which led to a short-term mission trip in 2019.  Steve and Gina’s short-term trip was used by God as part of the process to lead them to a full surrender to ministry in Guyana. Steve received his BA in Pastoral Missions from Trinity Baptist College and is a 20-year US Navy veteran. He is an experienced engineer, organizer and leader that has a passion for seeking out and discipling the lost. Gina graduated from the University of Wisconsin (Stevens Point) with her BA in Business Admin and her AA in computer graphics and design. She has a love for finances, photography and people. Steve and Gina lived in Uganda, Africa for two years discipling prisoners and their children with Wells of Hope Ministries. They enjoy kayaking, biking and traveling.
