Norberto grew up as a missionary kid in Argentina and Paraguay. For Julie, who was born and raised in Michigan, the mission field has provided many wonderfully challenging and exciting experiences.
We both felt called to missions before we met at Anderson University. We married outside on a very hot day in August in 2000 in the lovely state of Indiana. We took off on a hot air balloon and the adventures haven't stopped since that first ride. Shortly after finishing seminary, we sold almost everything they owned and bought an 88 Suburban and drove to South America from Anderson, Indiana. It was an exceptional adventure! We arrived in Paraguay on November 9, 2002.

In 2012, my life (Norberto) came to a halt when I was in a terrible car accident and I lost Julie and Timothy. We survived with Anahi and have been rebuilding our lives since then. A book could be written about these last four years. Last year in March of 2015 I remarried to a wonderful Paraguayan who has two precious kids, Mark and Nicole. God has blessed me again with a wonderful family. This year in May Dominick Norberto was born. He is a gift to us and a symbol of Gods restoration process in our lives. Nancy grew up in a pastors family learning from very small, what it means to move from one place to another and working with people of all kinds. Nancy has the gift of service and I believe God has given me a second chance with someone very special to walk alongside me as we live out our calling. x
