Meet the Gilstrap Family

Kyle was born and raised in southwest Indiana and grew up in a Christian home. At 9 years old, he recognized his need for a Savior and got saved at a small Christian camp in southern Indiana on June 17, 1999. As a young man, Kyle began to seek God's will for his life, and at 14 years old he surrendered his life to preach the gospel. After his training at West Coast Baptist College, God led Kyle to serve as a youth pastor for a few years before eventually directing him into the ministry of evangelism.

Tressa was born and raised in Whitehall, Montana. On January 3, 2000, Tressa realized she was a sinner and called upon the Lord to save her. She likewise surrendered her life to the Lord and God led her to attend West Coast Baptist College where she graduated with a major in Elementary Education. 

Following Bible college, Tressa and Kyle were married on August 6, 2011. Today they have three beautiful children, Jayce, Kynoa, and Jaxon. God has blessed and after traveling across the nation for 4 years serving the Lord through the ministry of Evangelism, God led Kyle to Pastor Whitehall Baptist Church.

Meet the Ingram Family

Isaac was born in Arlington, Texas and into the family of missionaries. He spent his childhood growing up either in his hometown or in the eastern european country of Romania. Isaac’s father worked with the Gypsy population starting churches, discipling new christians and training gypsy pastors to take over the local churches. After his graduation from highschool, Isaac moved back to Texas to attend a small BIble college started by his home church. At the age of 19 during a student chapel, one of his peers preached a message on salvation and Isaac realized he had based his salvation on his upbringing and not a relationship with Christ. He accepted the work of Jesus to save him at the end of that chapel service.

In 2013, Isaac and his wife Anna met long distance while she was serving as a house mom for teenage girls transitioning out of orphanages in Moldova. Moldova borders Romania and shares the Romanian language. They found a lot in common outside of their eastern European experiences and were married in 2014. They lived in Isaac’s hometown for a few years but moved to Sheridan, MT in 2016 and fell in love with the area. They have a daughter (Billie Sue, 5) and a son (AJ, 3).
