Brian & Charity with 10 of their 12 children

Where LIFE HAPPENS in the home . . .

Brian & Charity Callis have been married 36 years.  They are proud parents of twelve kids (four left at home) and live in the beautiful mountains near Yosemite National Park.  Brian is self-employed and works with his children.  Moving from the corporate world (GE and Wells Fargo) to self-employment, he embraced the vision of discipleship at home, working, homeschooling and serving with his family.  Charity loves mamas and babies and serves as a childbirth educator for The Bradley Method Natural Childbirth, a birth doula and is studying to be a midwife.  She has a passion for directing people to love Jesus MORE, and see families grow in freedom as they raise their family to serve the Lord.  All of the children have been homeschooled preK through 12th grade.  Nine are graduated and one is serving as a full-time missionary in Asia.  Each year the whole family leads short term mission teams to the Philippines.  Together, along with their children (at the time, ages three to twenty-four), starting in 2010, have served in teams that have shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Philippines to over 164,446 people, starting 1402  Bible Studies and planting 86 churches. Though the mission teams have continued, we stopped counting after 2014. Our prayer is that our life is a testimony of the "exceedingly, abundant"  God that we serve.
