In 2016, Kaitlyn moved to Madrid, Spain with SEND International as a full-time missionary. She studied Spanish for two years full time before jumping into ministry at a Refuge house (Casa Refugio - a ministry of Amar Dragoste), for women rescued from gender violence, domestic violence, and the sex trade. In 2019, she met Franklin while at a SEND Spain Conference (he was an invited musician).

September 2021, they were married and in December of the same year, Franklin's two daughters from a previous marriage came to live with them full time. Franklin was accepted as a SEND Canada member in September 2021 and they serve together in Spain.

Franklin and Kaitlyn have a passion to serve those in need as well as  have a hair salon that they are using to serve those in the community, with their employees, serving women in need, offering practicums and internships for the women that live in Casa Refugio and those that are attended to by Amar Dragoste. Additionally, they have a passion to serve young families and marriages and in music ministry.

Franklin and Kaitlyn's desire is to serve wherever God calls them with the skills and abilities that He has given them. They both see the great need in Spain and desire to help meet this need.
