Chad, Amy, and Noah Carter

Chad and Amy met at Mission's seminar at ACU, and will celebrate five years of marriage this May. They both graduated from ACU, Chad with a degree in physics and a minor in missions, and Amy with a degree in biology and missions. Chad is from the Dallas area and his home congregation, Richardson East, supports them. Amy is from a small farming town, Ulysses, Kansas. They both participated in African internships, Chad in Benin, and Amy in Burkina Faso and Kenya. Amy also was part of a survey trip to Indonesia. Their internships were very influential in their decisions to become missionaries, and they hope that your internship will be a faith forming experience for you as well. Chad enjoys cooking, researching, and playing his guitar. Amy enjoys singing, going for long walks, and hopes to publish children's books someday. They arrived in Burkina later than the rest of the team (for which they are eternally grateful), in March 2004. Their eldest son, Noah, was born in September 2005 during their first furlough. Benjamin, their youngest, was born in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in July 2007. Their next furlough is scheduled for Fall 2009.
