Bradley Mercer and Madison Carnes

Bradley Mercer and Madison Carnes have been engaged for nearly seven months, and they will be getting married in April to serve alongside each other in reaching the nations together through the international students at the University the Missouri. Columbia is a very diverse city with a representation of over 3,700 international students, and most of the diversity comes from China, India, South Korea, and Africa. Partnering with Rejoice Free Will Baptist Church in Columbia, Missouri, they are reaching out to this culturally diverse community, by sharing the love of Christ through relationships.

They shared, “We believe that the best way to love and serve students is to open our lives and homes just as Jesus Christ did in His earthly ministry. It is our heart to disciple internationals, who will in turn become future leaders in their home countries.”
