Brant & Mary Lane

Brant and Mary Lane, married in 2001, began sensing God’s calling into full-time ministry after rededicating their lives to the Lord in 2007. 

They were first introduced to Teen Missions in 2003, when Steve and Gay Petersen visited their church in Turbeville, South Carolina. A couple of months later, Brant went with the church youth group to volunteer during Spring break at Teen Missions International (TMI). This was the beginning of many more opportunities of volunteering and serving over the years before they answered the call to full-time ministry.

In October 2016, Brant and Mary accepted the invitation to serve with Wycliffe Bible Translators with their assignment being at JAARS in Waxhaw, NC. While serving at JAARS, Brant was the Director of Land Transportation, where they trained missionaries how to drive 4-wheel-drive vehicles off-road, vehicle recovery, motorcycle driving skills and basic maintenance on both. Mary had the opportunity to write for the online blog at JAARS and also serve with the JAARS ministry, Refuge 139, in Papua New Guinea and Mexico.  

While serving with Wycliffe Bible Translators, Brant and Mary continued to volunteer at TMI when they were able. During the summer of 2021, they felt the Lord was beginning to lead them in a different direction, so they began praying about where that would be. After much prayer and discussion with their children and a few close friends, they accepted the call to serve full-time with Teen Missions, officially beginning in January 2023.

Brant and Mary have four children: Annabelle, Allison, Jonathan and Jesse. Annabelle is married to Joshua Planty, and they currently live in North Charleston, South Carolina. Allison is attending the Sojourner School of Ministry at Teen Missions. Jonathan is a Senior at Merritt Island Christian School. Jesse is in 6th grade and is currently being home schooled by Mary. 

The desire of their family is to be where the Lord directs them, because there is no safer and better place to be than in the Lord’s will.
