We met in Germany in 1999. Greg was stationed there as an officer in the US Army while serving in Eastern Europe, and Germany is where Rebecca grew up. We married there, then moved to the United States where we were blessed to be part of very mission-minded churches that were fundamental in shaping our hearts for ministry. We loved connecting with visiting global workers and listening to their stories. We regularly found ourselves hosting missionaries on furlough, staying connected with TCKs, and helping transitioning families.

Sensing God was calling us into ministry, we moved to the UK in 2010 to spend some time with Rebecca’s side of the family. While there, Greg retired from the military, and we discerned where God was sending us. In 2014 we moved to Nairobi, Kenya, to establish Rothem House. We live and serve here as tent-maker missionaries, Greg bridging the business and missions world through his job scaling impact companies.

Living and working as global workers, we understand how important it is for others to be supported, connected, and encouraged. Our own experience of God providing family away from home in every place we’ve lived spurs us on to love others in the same way.
