Suzanne Fuller was born in 1969 to Tom and Kathy Fuller went to Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 1972 as full time missionaries. While home on furlough five years later, she made a decision to follow Christ, mainly due to the influence of the Mansfield Christian School that she was attending. A few years later, back in PNG, God laid it on her heart to become a missionary nurse. She was eleven years old and remembers it distinctly. She was playing hide-n-seek in the yard with her siblings. While hiding by the wood pile she heard God say, "You're a Christian now, but what are you going to do about it?" The desire of her heart was to be a missionary nurse. The fullers returned from PNG in 1981, settling in Mansfield, OH. After graduating from Kent State with a degree in nursing, Suzanne to return to PNG only to find out that New Guinea was not granting visas for nurses. She wondered where God was leading her.

Bud grew up in Arizona, graduating from high school in 1982. He became a Christian at an early age and was in his teens when God gave him the desire to one day become a missionary. After high school he worked as an electrician in Phoenix. Later he graduated from Arizona State with a degree in Finance and Operations Management. In 1987, he went to Brazil on a short-term mission trip to visit his cousin Rick Spinos who was working on the Amazon River (an AC missionary presently serving with Fruit of the Vine ministries in Macap?, Brazil). On his return to the US, he shared his excitement with people at Midwest Camp through a slide presentation. Suzanne was in the audience. Another romance began at church camp!!! At the 1992 Snow Valley Ralley, Bud and Suzanne spent much time talking about life's plans and goals. In October of that year, they were married and three years later they were in Santar?m on the Amazon as missionaries. After language school there, they went to Altimira, to work with the churches on the Xingu River. They are still there today planting churches and training leaders.
