Since 1995, Brent and his wife, Karen, have helped found and support Talsi Christian School, a school in the former Soviet Republic of Latvia. The school has grown from 25 students to over 250. Each year, Brent and his wife bring a team of American adults and students to lead a youth camp of students from Latvia and the other Baltic Republics. Part of the purpose of the camp is to educate the American students (all of whom were born after the fall of the Iron Curtain) of what the Communist form of government was like and its impact on the people and the country. In 2006, they created a foundation whose purpose is to support Talsi Christian School.
