Jonathan Atkins
Northern Illinois
In His mercy, God saved me when I was 25 years old and immediately I sensed a call to serve in ministry. My wife Ami and I were married in May of 2010 and shortly after coming back from our honeymoon left our home in South Carolina to come to Northern Illinois to help my dad's church. Almost two years later, God redirected us to join an Acts 29 church plant in the college town of DeKalb, IL. We have been at The Church in DeKalb since March of 2012 and are excited as we continue to see the gospel transform lives.
