Stephen and Jessica were childhood sweethearts in Zion, Illinois. They got married in 2013, studied together at Moody Bible Institute for their undergrad, and again at Western Seminary for their MAs.

From the time they were children, God gave them a deep desire to see His Kingdom spread to the ends of the earth. As they grew older, they became especially passionate about young people in the Zionist churches–a huge, virtually unreached demographic.

The Langleys moved to South Africa in 2017 where they now live in Pietermaritzburg. They run weekly small-group and one-on-one Bible studies in the local community, Sweetwaters, and develop Bible study materials in Zulu. They also partner with local Zionist leaders teaching at the ZEBS classes in Pietermaritzburg and Estcourt.

Long-term, their ministry vision is to disciple Zionists to disciple Zionist youth. Their desire is to see the next generation of Zionists zealous for the truth of God’s Word and the spread of the Gospel through all of Africa. Through transformed young people, they hope to one day see a transformed continent
