David and Valerie Federwitz

David and Valerie Federwitz (Michaela, Josiah, Micah, and JoyAnna)

David was born in Liberia, West Africa, the son of LBT missionaries Dale and Alvina Federwitz. He loved growing up in Liberia and always felt that he was part of his parents' ministry. Convinced at an early age that every person in the world should have God's Word in his own language, David's intent has always been to serve on the mission field.

Although he experienced culture shock upon coming to the States to attend college, he made a good adjustment, and became involved in campus and outreach ministries at Concordia. His ability to relate well to others, determination to spread God's Word, and cross-cultural background have prepared him for life on the mission field.

Valerie was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she attended Lutheran schools and enjoyed her membership in Covenant Lutheran Church. She became interested in missions after attending a Christian concert during her high school years. While at Concordia, Valerie joined Fishers of Men, a mission group. In addition to other activities, and with David's encouragement, she went on a short-term mission trip to Belize. While in Belize, she came to believe that she was ready to face the challenges of the mission field.

David and Valerie were married in June 1999 and moved to Rockford, Illinois, where David taught at Lutheran High School for two years. The Federwitzes have 4 children: Michaela, Josiah, Micah, and JoyAnna.

David and Valerie became missionaries with LBT in January 2001. They completed their training in Scripture use and literacy in June of 2002. Their first assignment to the Komba people of Ghana began in September 2003.
