After a short missions term with Youth With A Mission in Haiti, she became aware of the international need for Bible translation and began to pursue information on how she might serve in this field. She obtained a BA in Linguistics from Trinity Western University (2001) in Canada. She met Rob during this time of training and they married after her graduation.

Together, they met with an LBT recruiter and began the application process. Rob completed the Certificate in Applied Linguistics program at the Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics in 2004 while Eshinee also attended GIAL, taking graduate-level courses with a Bible translation skill-set emphasis. They continue to welcome prayer and financial supporters as they build their support team and are currently on their first LBT field assignment in Botswana.
