Board of Directors: U.S.
Barb Hoffman
Chairman of the Board/Student Growth
Barb and her husband Bryan first traveled to Uganda in 2006, which led to the connections On Belay has today. Barb’s heart and passion for missions has inspired her to lead over 20 short term, student teams to Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, China, Dominican Republic, Latvia, and in the last 13 years to Uganda, Africa. Having recently retired as an educator, she looks forward to continuing her journey to be a part of God’s Kingdom work around the world.
Bryan Hoffman
President/CEO
Bryan’s love for Africa began in 1971 when he taught school for three years in the Congo. In 2006, Bryan returned to Africa with his wife Barb. Since that time, they have continued to take teams and friends to meet the children and friends they love so much. Bryan retired from corporate life in 2013 and now focuses on serving in Uganda. Bryan has also been facilitating a World Missions Class at Cornerstone School of Ministry in Corvallis.
Keith Marshall
Vice President
Keith became interested in missions work when he started going on short term trips to Mexico in high school. Since then he has served on many trips to Mexico, as well as to the Dominican Republic. One of his many passions is finances and budgeting, and he is happy to be helping OnBelay with big-picture financial guidance. Along with his wife of six years, Nicole, and their 4 children; Seth, Isabella and Logan, Keith feels called to serve the nations and the people of Uganda.
Nicole Marshall
Secretary
Nicole has always had a heart for people- encouraging others, sharing stories, and fostering authentic community. Her appreciation for other cultures began in high school, and she has been on short term mission trips and spent a semester abroad, including going on two trips to Uganda. Nicole has been married to her husband, Keith, since 2011, and they became parents in 2016. She is loving getting to be a stay-at-home mom to 3 children; Seth, Isabella and Logan, and is excited to see where God is calling her and her family to serve and love others both locally and abroad.
April Larson

April’s spiritual gifts are serving and hospitality. She is excited to be a part of the On Belay team and share her other gift, her love of numbers! She has been married to her husband, Mark, for over 29 years, and is mom to three adult children.
Margaret Kubler
Member at Large; Donor Care
Margaret Kubler has been married to Jeff Kubler for 33 years and is mother to 4 grown children. She has been interested in missions work for many years and first became a sponsor when her daughter traveled multiple times to Uganda. She has continued in her desire to pray and support those children and young adults in need in Uganda. While she has worked at various things, her chief joy has been her role of mom to her own children and numerous international students who have become part of the family over the years.
