If you were to come to Ricky and Michelle’s place it would be loud, a little messy, and we promise you'd laugh — mostly with them. Michelle is a worship leader, sourdough wizard, teacher, and believes in the ministry of tears. Ricky is a pastor, nerd, amateur foodie, and pretend fly-fishing enthusiast. They live in sunny Kamloops where Ricky serves as Pastor of Community Life at Summit Drive Church. Their first child is a fluffy doodle named Coco, and their second is a human baby named Otto.

Michelle and Ricky served on staff at Barnabas over their university summers, doing everything from hauling garbage and washing dishes, to being part of program staff. They wouldn’t be who they are without these experiences, and are thrilled to continue to serve Barnabas’ ministry of encouragement.
