Who We ArE

The Grizzles

We are Bryson and Anna Grizzle, missionaries from South Carolina and proud parents to two incredible boys, Rowen Asher and Julien Levi, with hearts full of joy as we await the arrival of our third son, Simeon Knox.

Our lives are anchored in one all-consuming purpose: to see the Great Commission fulfilled in our generation. That journey began at Holmes Bible College, where we studied missions and theology, preparing to take the Gospel where it had not yet gone.

From there, the Lord led us to Kenya, where we lived and served in the largest slum in Africa. It was there that our calling was put to the test. We rescued children from trafficking, ran street outreach programs, and discipled new believers, experiences that forever marked us with a deep love for the lost and a holy dissatisfaction with comfort.

Eventually, God shifted our path once again, this time to South Africa, a move that not only changed our geography, but reshaped our hearts. Our mission has always been simple yet bold:
“Make unreached people groups a thing of the past.”

But along the way, we’ve learned this truth:
Meeting physical needs is essential, but if the soul is untouched, then we’ve missed the point.
If the end goal isn’t salvation, what are we really offering?

Every people group is different. Their cultures, challenges, and barriers to the Gospel are unique. That’s why we’ve moved away from projects to person-centered missions. The mission is not the method—it’s the person who has not heard. No matter how remote, how complicated, or how forgotten they may seem, we live by this unshakable belief:
“Unreachable does not exist.”

As a bush pilot in training, I’m preparing to fly into regions that roads can’t reach, carrying the Gospel to places where few, if any, have ever gone. Whether by bush plane, Land Cruiser, hiking boots, or dugout canoe, we will go. If it means bringing clean water, teaching sustainable farming, or simply showing up with a soccer ball, our answer is the same:

Whatever it takes, we will go.
Whoever needs to hear, we will go.
You can’t get lost chasing Jesus.

But our passion doesn’t stop with just going.

Today, we feel deeply called to spearhead a movement that raises up and equips the next generation of missionaries through Church of God World Missions. Our mission isn’t just to go, it’s to send. To cultivate, commission, and champion laborers who will carry the light of Jesus into the darkest places on earth.

We believe it’s not only our responsibility to reach those who’ve never heard the Gospel, but also to keep the local church connected to God’s global mission. Through internships, missions teams, storytelling, and intentional partnerships, we work to keep the fire of the Great Commission alive in every church, every family, and every heart back home.

Because this isn’t just our story.
It’s a movement.
And we invite you to be part of it.
