Damien and Jeannine met in California and in 2004 got married in Wicklow, Ireland. Together they have four children, and their names are Hannah, Ruth, Matthew and Rebekah.

Their first home was at a Christian adventure center where they lived and worked for nearly 10 years. There they led adventure weekends, maintained the grounds and really got a passion for kids and youth work. In 2012, they moved across the border to Northern Ireland, to the small town of Rostrevor in county Down. There they worked for five years with an organization called YWAM. Their main passion is training missionaries in the area of peace and reconciliation.

More recently they have made the long move from their Wee island to the mighty state of Arizona, USA. Here they will be working as youth pastors, assisting the workings of the church and many more things.

The Parle family love adventures, picnics, craziness and sometimes all at the same time!
