Ministry Experience
God began to stir Kevin and his wife Jenni's hearts after a family mission trip to Jamaica in 2011 and decided they wanted to do something different with their remaining working years. They began to explore options and volunteered on their first EMI trip in 2012. A few months later they sold their house, bought a RV and spent all of 2013 traveling the US as a sort of "life reboot" experience while we thought about what God might have for them in ministry. They returned to Florida at the start of 2014 then moved to Colorado to join EMI in March 2015.
Family
Kevin and Jenni celebrate 25 years of marriage in 2018 and have three children - Joel (born in 1998), Kristen (born in 2003) and Emily (born 2005). Jenni enjoys her role performing photography and videography for EMI and they find it a great blessing to share in this ministry together.
