Joey & Mende Noffsinger
Joey and Mende have both been active in the ministry since the beginning of their shared conversion to the faith in the spring of 1995 (it’s a neat story, they love to tell so please do ask). They were married in March of 2001, and still like each other a whole lot. The Noffsingers like to read good books, listen to good music, make up funny songs about each other, and sip on the occasional latte, mmm.... Joey is currently serving as primary pastor/teacher at Lifelink Memphis, while continuing to work part time as a Registered Nurse in the community as a home health nurse. Mende teaches art to a group of amazing students at Westminster Academy, when she’s not busy making Joey look better.

Brent & Camille Diggs
Brent and Camille were married in 1989 and the rest, as they say, is therapy. (Just kidding.) They have three wonderful children and the bills to prove it. They left the west coast in 2001 in order for Brent to attend Visible School and while here fell in love with the Lifelink community and the distinctive way God has expressed Himself through it. They both have recently survived the perils of adult-onset college and emerged with impressive and surprisingly legitimate degrees. They both enjoy fulltime employment and contribute to the online humor publication The Ominous Comma. Brent and Camille are excited to see what God has in store, both for Memphis and the world at large, as the kingdom is realized.
