After receiving a B.A. from Houghton College, Jud studied Middle Eastern politics at SUNY Binghamton and received an M.A. in political science from Temple University. He then entered a carpenter/millwright apprentice program, eventually becoming the civil craft supervisor at a nuclear plant construction site.

Jan’s vocational background is nursing. After attending Houghton College for two years, she transferred to Thomas Jefferson University and received her B.S.N. Jan worked in pediatrics while Jud finished graduate school and established himself in a trade.

Called to full-time missions in 1986, Jud and Jan never lost their vision for vocational ministry. After 10 years as the international director for MTW over Muslim ministry, Jud recognized the need for a new missions deployment model utilizing vocational ministry skills. The 18.26 Network was established in 2017.  More info at: www.1826network.com
