Hey! We’re Ben and Shizuka Pehling from Minnesota. We started helping with 24+ before kids and now have 4 awesome kiddos! They keep us busy but we love this space and want to continue to do what we can to help. We’ve done over 15+ retreats and been a matching supporter for 7+ years so if you ever have any questions or want to just chat please don’t hesitate. Looking forward to meeting you!

Hi! We’re Yoshie and Matthew from New Jersey. We were Blessed and married in April 2022, and welcomed Isaac, our first little one at the end of 2023.

Our road to finding each other was pretty long and winding: Matthew’s been Blessed before, and Yoshie…just took a long time finding someone who felt right. We are very invested in figuring things out for the sake of future generations, and hope our perspectives and experiences can be useful to you on your journey.

Hi! Beni here. Emmy and I live in Mobile AL raising our little family surrounded by the love and support of a small but vibrant faith community. We were Blessed in 2010 and are doing our best to provide our kids with the same sense of belonging that so meaningfully shaped us.

I believe that in raising family we find our highest purpose and our greatest happiness. I believe that we are all worthy of it. Family is grace. It possesses the power to heal this world and I know this because it heals and renews me. 

Hello! We’re Kristian and Sungmi Holdhus. We’ve been Blessed in marriage for two years. Our biggest goal right now is trying to grow our family.

We had both been Blessed before with pretty difficult endings to those stories, but we found our way to each other after years of healing and searching. As a couple, we’re passionate about our Blessing not just being for ourselves, but that our story and experience can help others. Feel free to ask us anything! We’re here to support you.
