Jared & Sarah Lowell

Jared and Sarah were married in 2023 and are thrilled to be expecting their first child in early 2025! They met at Liberty University, where they discovered their shared calling to missions. Jared’s passion for aviation stems from his upbringing as a missionary kid where his parents served in a remote region of Papua New Guinea. There, aviation played a vital role in bringing the Gospel to unreached people groups. They are currently raising support as they get ready to move to Bolivar, where Jared will undergo training to become a missionary pilot.
