Barbara Mouser grew up on a small dairy farm in Texas, where she discovered her love of teaching and the wonder of manhood and womanhood.  She attended Texas Tech University, where she realized she didn’t actually want to be a farmer’s wife! After some years as a church secretary and women’s Bible study teacher in a large congregation, she married Bill and they started a family. She completed a Masters of Old Testament from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1984. Eventually, the Mousers returned to her childhood home near Dallas, TX, to care for their aging parents and rear their children.  She has enjoyed a busy career as a home-maker, mother, pastor’s wife, teacher, and author of Five Aspects of Woman and numerous other Bible study books. She loves teaching Bible themes, taking country walks, and working jigsaw puzzles.  She and Bill have four daughters and a growing brood of adorable grandchildren.

Barbara retired from her active teaching ministry and hosting of women’s ministry conferences in 2020. Currently she actively serves as the primary staff writer for Five Aspects Ministries. 

Bryan Vermillion is Texas born and was raised east of Houston, Texas, in a little town called Highlands. He accepted Christ at age 11 and was raised in a Bible church where he was firmly grounded in God’s Word.

He left Highlands for a few years to attend Lamar University in Beaumont, TX, where he received his Mechanical Engineering degree. He met his wife, Kristine, while serving with Campus Crusade on a seven-week mission trip in Mexico. They married in 2001 after his college graduation, and he moved her to his hometown, and then he started to work in the petrochemical industry as a pump application engineer.

In 2006, the opportunity arose for him to work with his parents in their rapidly growing small business. He chose to leave the engineering field to work alongside his parents and his brother for the sole purpose of being closer to Kristine and their growing family.

He has worked for the family business ever since, where he serves as managing partner. Bryan has also served in the role of “Archivist” for Five Aspects Ministries for a few years, and he also serves on the Mission Action Council (MAC) at his church.

On most weekends, you can find him on his back patio, slow-cooking various meats on his smoker. 

Kristine Vermillion was born and raised in Casper, Wyoming. She accepted Christ at a young age and was faithfully discipled by the women at Mountain View Baptist Church.

In high school she volunteered with Casper Youth for Christ and helped lead the youth outreach program. She attended nursing school at Casper College. She met her husband, Bryan, while serving with Campus Ventures on a seven-week mission trip in Mexico.

While she did not know it at the time, God was preparing her for the huge move to Highlands, Texas to begin married life. The summer before she married Bryan, the pastor’s wife at her home church gave her the Bible study: Five Aspects of Woman and challenged her to do it before the big day. Once married and officially a Texan, Bryan encouraged her to go back to school to study Humanities and Literature, the area where her passions truly were.

She went to the University of Houston Clear Lake and received her MA in Literature (2013). Later, she attended Dallas Theological Seminary where she received her Master of Theology (ThM-2021). While all this education was going on, Noah, Gentry, and Shelby were born and became integral parts of Kristine’s life and ministry. Over the years she has led women’s Bible studies, led years of Vacation Bible School programs, and sang with her church’s music ministry. She is also an author and Bible teacher in her own right.

She currently works alongside Bryan in the family business as Vice President of Finance. She has also worked for Five Aspects Ministries for the past few years as editor, formatter, and project manager. She also presently serves as the President of the Southeast Texas Choral Society and is also a board member for the Pregnancy Resource Center in Baytown, Texas. 

Emily was born and raised in Baytown, Texas. She graduated from Lee College in 2020 with degrees in Music Performance and Creative Arts. She has also taken several Bible classes from the College of Biblical Studies in Houston.

While in college, she had the pleasure of studying under Kristine with several Bible studies, including Five Aspects of Woman. At the same time, Emily attended a college small group where she met her husband, Ryan. They were married in 2019, and their darling daughter, Adelaide, joined the family in 2022.

She grew up in church, and she accepted Christ at a young age. She has enjoyed leading various small groups and serving on the worship team. Whether it was on the worship team or in a theatrical production, she has always loved being on stage (minus the mishap as “the sheep” in the Christmas pageant as a 4-year-old struck with stage fright). She continues her thespian life working with the local Baytown Little Theater alongside her husband.

Currently, she is learning the ropes of motherhood and spends most of her time with her family.
