Rev. Patrick and Jessica Wilkerson have announced their resignation as missionaries to Colombia effective December 1, 2021. The Wilkersons moved to Medellin in July 2017 to assist the newly formed Emmaus Presbytery. They have been a great source of encouragement for the leaders and instrumental in helping the presbytery organize its financial and legal structure. Jessica started a ministry to help single mothers with support from the CP Women’s Ministry. They also hosted short-term mission teams. After a year in Medellin, they moved to Rionegro (45 minutes outside of Medellin) and started a worshiping community in their home. We are grateful for their four-plus years of service and their contribution to the mission work in Colombia. Pray for Patrick and Jessica and their two daughters, Bella, and Jacqueline as they make their transition back to the US.
