Brian and Hannah, originally from Ohio and Australia respectively, were married in March 2017. Since then they’ve had an exciting and progressive time of transition into full time ministry with 7Thunders and the International House of Prayer (IHOPKC). Living in Kansas City, they both serve in the Global Prayer Room at IHOPKC and with various other 7Thunders weekly meditation groups, discipling young adults, leading prayer meetings, and ministering in churches and houses of prayer across the USA. They both facilitate meditation teams and have been influential in teaching and facilitating young adult groups this past year where they’ve seen numerous testimonies of encountering the Lord through meditation on the Word for the first time in their life! This has been life changing for a generation that is programmed to be constantly connected and addicted to technology.
