Joseph and Dana Stoner

Joe and Dana met in high school at their church’s youth group. They were high school sweethearts and married in 2009. They have two beautiful children: Jacob, 14, and Madalyn Rae, 10.

In 2019, Joe and Dana went on a short-term mission trip to Ecuador. At that time, they had no idea how God was going to use that trip to confirm the call that He had placed in their lives. At the beginning of 2021, they said YES to His plan for them to become full-time missionaries! In February 2023, they finished language school and moved to Guayaquil to serve alongside another OMS family. Their work includes ministering to children and teens, helping disciple young married couples, and working with teams that come to serve for short-term trips. They are ready to use their gifts and talents for the kingdom.

They have a heart for missions and are excited to see what God is going to do in the hearts and lives of the people of Ecuador.
