Arnie and April moved to Logan, Kansas in October of 2009. April’s grandfather’s family homesteaded south of Logan and she grew up coming to Logan every year for family reunions. So, when they moved here, it was like moving to her hometown, although she was raised in Colorado. Shortly after they moved here, April joined TFC staff and eventually became the leader of the Logan TFC group. They now co-lead the Logan group with Lewis and Susan Smith from Phillipsburg and they love being part of the community of Logan, getting to know the families and the teens, and teaching the teens about Jesus! April also leads the junior high group in Wakeeney in partnership with the Church of God.

God is doing some great things within TFC and he continues to lead us forward into the future as we strive to do whatever it takes to help teenagers become fully devoted followers of Jesus. Brian’s wife Julie is the Office Manager for TFC and she does a great job keeping all of the finances in order. Brian and Julie also help lead the Phillipsburg TFC groups and they are the proud parents of Nathan and Natalie.
