Brief History:
Amet grew up in the suburbs of Dakar, the Capital City of the country Senegal. He grew up in a Muslim home and came to the Lord in 1980 at the young age of 17. In 1983 he entered the Institut Biblique du Senegal and was anointed as Pastor in 1986.
Alexia grew up in California, and came to the Lord in November 1995, at a much older age. She began serving in the church in Sunday school and began exploring the Short Term mission trip in 1997, confirming her calling to missions. In 2003 Alexia was appointed with her young daughter to serve in Senegal, and on January 5, 2005, Alexia and her daughter Natalya arrived in Dakar to begin their life in West Africa serving the Lord. Shortly after their arrival, Amet and Alexia met, but they began to know each other and respect each.
In December 2007, Amet and Alexia were married in Dakar, Senegal.
Natalya has since graduated High School in June 2009 and finished University, she is now working in Charlotte, North Carolina as a nurse.
