Brian and Olda Cannon have been married for 24 years and are blessed with three children: Ella, Eva, and Josiah. Both Brian and Olda served in the U.S. Air Force, where they developed a deep appreciation for service, sacrifice, and the unique needs of military families.

The Cannons settled in Southeast Missouri, where they started a poultry farm in 2016. In October 2024, the Cannons hosted an Italian exchange student. Through that experience, the Lord began stirring their hearts for ministry in Italy, both to American military families stationed overseas and to local Italians who may have had little opportunity to hear the gospel clearly.

The Cannons will serve alongside DTN missionaries in a church in Vicenza, Italy. They desire to use their background in military service, family life, discipleship, and community ministry to serve the Lord faithfully and point others to Christ.
