Amber Joy Brantly attended Abilene Christian University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. She and her husband, Kent, have two children, Ruby and Stephen. The Brantlys have served as missionaries in Guatemala, Haiti, Tanzania, and most recently in Liberia, where Kent worked as a family physician and obstetrician in a mission hospital, and later as medical director of an Ebola Treatment Unit when the outbreak spread to their city. As witnessed by the world, Kent contracted the disease, and through his illness, survival, recovery, and now his work to raise awareness about the plight of health care in West Africa, Amber has been a constant companion and support to Kent and their family. The Brantlys currently live in Fort Worth, Texas, and are seeking the Lord’s will about where they will serve next as ambassadors for the Kingdom of God.
