About

Hi. We're the Youngs.

It's nice to meet you.

We're a family of 5. Full-time RVers. Willing nomads. Gypsies for Jesus. We love to travel this country from coast to coast, taking in the beautiful sights & meeting beautiful people. We are blessed to actually witness God at work in the lives of His people. What a life! We can't wait to meet you & hear your story.

Our Background

In 2005, we heard the call. We felt the nudge. Sell everything. Get rid of your home. Buy an RV. Travel full-time. Nope. No way. That’s crazy. We had two children. One was a toddler, one a newborn. There’s no way. We can’t do that! We have two children. We have to be responsible! Well. 14 years later, we’ve sold everything of value. We have no home. We live in our RV. Traveling full-time. With three children. Two are teenagers, one just turned 11. Turns out, there’s a way.

We’re originally from Arkansas. Now, we go wherever God leads us. Literally. We stay where He tells us to stay. We say we’re ‘local…for now.’ We leave when He tells us to leave. We do attempt to plan – but we hold those plans very loosely. Men plan, but God prevails. We’re a mess! Nothing like what we envisioned missionaries to be. We’re very real. Very honest. Transparent – to a fault at times. We’re vulnerable. We fall in love with every place we ever visit, and with all the people we meet. We try hard. We fail often. We try again.

We love the life we’ve been called to live. How long will we do this? No idea. But. We spent years living for ourselves. We can’t wait to see how God uses the rest of our lives for His glory.

 

The Missionaries

Brian Young
Brian
The Talker
In another life, Brian was a “hard worker.” A “great employee.” An entrepreneur. Now, he enjoys working for his Father. He is an extrovert. A people person. He can be found talking, or doing all kinds of practical, useful things.
    Robin Young
    Robin
    The Scribe
    Robin is responsible for writing all the things. She writes how she thinks – which is probably grammatically incorrect. But she thinks she’s funny. She’s a serious introvert. But. She loves you & can’t wait to hear your story. Really.
      Caleb Young
      Caleb
      The Planner
      Caleb is the one responsible for this whole 50 states thing! Bless him. Caleb always wants to know what the plan is, but he’s fine when we have a change of plans. He loves all things tech-ish, and will probably be running this show soon.
      Tristan Young
      Tristan
      The Jokester
      Tristan is a classic middle child. Kid has a wicked sense of humor. (‘Wicked’ meaning…not actually evil.) Nothing phases the boy! He tends to fly under the radar, but don’t be fooled. Tristan brings something very special to our team.
      Alyssa Young
      Alyssa
      The Giggler
      Alyssa is the youngest member of the Campfire Ministries team, but this girl knows she’s a princess & her Father is the king! Alyssa hated everyone for the first 2 years of her life. You’d never believe it. She’s a sweetie. And a world changer.

      The Board of Directors

      Sarah Stevens
      The President
      Sarah has a passion for following God, and for heading up nonprofits. She has an entrepreneurial spirit, killer organizational skills, and a huge heart. She lives in Arkansas, with her husband and two children.
        Micah Whitfield
        The Vice President
        Micah is full of ideas and energy! His background is in sales, but his passion is film production & design. He currently works with the Arend Arts Center at Bentonville schools. Micah is married, and has five children.
          Joe Corn
          The Treasurer
          Joe is absolutely brilliant! Really. He’s an Operations Manager for Sam’s Club, a husband, a father of two, and a never-ending source of ideas & inspiration. Remind us to tell you about the gift card sometime.
