Adrian and Tania Paredez were both raised in Yuma Arizona where they met in 2001. After 3 weeks of spending time together they were engaged and married a year later in August 2002. They moved to Casa Grande Arizona where they participated in the worship ministry and were active with Cross The Line youth group and the young adults ministry. They were looking for a bible to school to attend and were encouraged by their worship pastors and chuch to consider Christ for the Nations Bible Institute.

After having their first daughter, Tatianna Leenda, and Tania finishing beauty school they moved to Dallas, Texas so Adrian could enroll at CFNI in August 2005. Arriving at CFNI they never had any intentions of working in missions but a few days later God brought Jervis and Melissa Fisher into their lives. Immediately they felt the Lord’s leading to serve under the fishers in the Resident Aid ministry for the families department. As the Fishers shared their heart and vision for Laugh Out Loud Ministries in Belize the Lord started to direct Adrian and Tania to the ministry. Adrian went on the three week mission trip to Belize led by Jervis and Melissa in the summer of 2006. God confirmed their calling to the Fishers, Laugh Out Loud (LOL), and missions in the weeks Adrian spent ministering in the country.

After two years at CFNI, and much learning, Adrian and Tania moved to Colorado with the Fishers where Bethani Love (daughter #2) was delivered by Melissa.
Adrian and Tania, along with daughters Tatianna and Bethani, are honored to work with Jervis and Melissa to serve God and the nations as they fully embrace the call of God with the amazing Belize team the Lord has put together!
