About us

    Though we are both originally from Georgia, we met while serving in Moscow, Russia. Vann was an English teacher and Vanessa (Nicolosi) was involved in ministry to orphans with her family. Before marrying, Vann spent two years traveling in South America as a missionary to missionaries.

     We have both been clearly directed by God to Peru, and have enjoyed serving Him here. We have seen God’s faithfulness in a personal way as He has consistently protected us and provided all of our needs.
