Leland and Naomi met in church when they were teenagers and dated throughout college. Naomi graduated with a degree in elementary education from Louisiana Baptist University.
Leland and Naomi were married in 2004 and God blessed them with two wonderful children, Lincoln and Lauren. Both have made professions of faith and are seeking and following God's will for their lives.
