About the Knabbs

Under construction....

Jason Knabb was reared in central Mississippi.  When graduated from high school, he joined the US Navy and served for six years.  During that time, Jason came to the end of himself and put his life in the hands of the Lord.  It changed his life and gave him a new passion for saving lost souls.  Within a year of leaving the Navy, Jason felt called into the mission field, and specifically to missions in Mexico.


Sarah Knabb, though born in the US, spent her early years in Chiapas, the southern most state in Mexico.  She is a third-generation missionary to Mexico, daughter of Dr. Tom and Billie Sloan, missionaries to San Cristóbal de las Casas, and granddaughter of Dr. and Mrs. L.H. Ashcraft, missionaries to Monterrey.  In fact, most of Sarah's brothers and sisters are in active missionary or pastoral ministries, many in Mexico.


Jason and Sarah met in Oklahoma City.  Jason was attending Oklahoma Baptist College at the same time as Sarah's brother and sister, Philip and Elizabeth.  Sarah had gone to school there as well, but was already finished and working in her parents' mission work in Chiapas.  Philip and Elizabeth were certain that Jason and Sarah should meet.  What began then was a long-distance friendship that developed through phone calls and letters.


Jason graduated in May of 2002, and he and Sarah married in December of that year.  After graduation and in the first two years after getting married, Jason made several trips to Mexico so he could become more familiar with the country and so he could begin the long process of perfecting his language skills.  After the wedding, Jason and Sarah traveled togter, spending quite a few spent months visiting churches all over the United States sharing the vision of the mission work they would do together.
