Our family

Hi all!

 We are Ryan and Sarah Schmitz.  Ryan grew up in Canada, Sarah in the Midwest. We met at Indiana Wesleyan University and got hitched in 2000.  We had four babies in five years. Micah is 18, Eva is 17, Abel is 14, and Esme is 12.
 
In February 2012 we moved our family from the rural Mount Vernon, Ohio to Managua, Nicaragua to work with Global Partners. We love the work we're doing. We're blessed to do it.

Welcome!  Thanks for reading.
