Update


For the past several months our family has been pursuing an opportunity to serve the Lord over in London with Mike and Cindy. There have been many efforts by many different individuals to get us over there, however, it seems that the Lord is closing this door as of right now. One of the factors that needed to be in place in order for our family to go to London was housing. Unfortunately, nothing ever materialized. We appreciate all of your prayers and support over the past several months and want to encourage you that they have not gone unheard.

We strongly feel that God has been strategically directing our family and has been teaching us A LOT these past few months. We continue to put our trust in Him and lean not on our own understanding. There are a couple of opportunities on the horizon and we are knocking on some doors. Stay tuned and we will fill you in.

Blessings,

The Atkissions

London on our minds...


Hello friends!

Jen and I are very excited to join Mike and Cindy in the ministry that is occurring in the UK. Currently, we are waiting for our housing arrangements to be confirmed before we book our flight. Please join us in asking the Lord to open this door.

Last weekend we had our first fundraising event. Thanks to everyone that came out to support us, we had a great time. More than likely, we will do this again in the near future. We are both looking forward to meeting new people and sharing our vision with others. On that note, you may be wondering, "What do Aaron and Jen do, and what is their 'vision/call'?" Well, it really is quite simple. We are "Jesus Ministry" missionaries. Meaning, that our heart is to minister to the church at large as well as the lost and broken around the world. We will accomplish this in a variety of different ways as the Lord leads...however, this will be the thread that runs through all of our missions work.

We will keep you posted on any new developments as they happen. Thanks again for your love, support, and prayers!

Blessings,

Aaron, Jen, and Ryen
