Getting Ready

What has happened to the Pattons in the last few years?

Briley, Evie, and Logan at G'ville Zoo

Well, we now have three children: Briley (4), Logan (3), and Evie (2 in August).
  • I graduated with an M.Div in Church History in 2012
We moved to Wake Forest for 4 months, then moved to South Carolina.

We have started the process for going overseas.

I am now Assistant Minister of Missions at First Baptist Spartanburg.

We're living in a rented house in the metropolis of Startex, SC.





Life for us over the past year has been essentially one big change.  Whenever we begin to get settled into any semblance of normalcy something else happens to keep us on our toes.  We moved to Wake Forest so that I could pursue a PhD in Historical Theology; however, because of the job market we ended up leaving before any schooling actually took place. 

I took a job with a Miracle Hill Thrift store in Spartanburg, SC.  It was basically the only thing available, and God used it to move us to a position where we were willing and wanting to go overseas.  About the time we settled our hearts on going overseas God opened the doors to this job at FBS.  Right now I am in a part-time position working with the church's national and international teams. 

We are continually grateful for God's provision and faithfulness.  

Thank you all for your patience, and we'll be working on posting more frequently as we are a bit more mobile and not bogged down in schoolwork.
