Art & Jen Powell
Art was married and divorced with one son right out of high school. We individually came to know Jesus Christ a few years after we were married in 1995. Our early married years were challenging as we juggled being a blended family and trying to maintain our self-focused lives.
We attended our first Familylife, Weekend to Remember in October 2001 where we learned that God designed our marriage to reflect His image in a fallen world. We felt convicted of all the ways our marriage did not match God's Word. Christ was not the center of our lives. We cried out to God that weekend in prayer asking Him to rescue our marriage. Five months later, Jen was in ICU with massive pulmonary embolus. Since then, God has allowed many trials and there are many details, but God used each experience to draw us closer to Him and to rearrange areas of our lives. He continues to teach us and grow us in every way. He has given us passion to share HIS LOVE, HIS PLAN and HIS TRUTH with those HE puts in our path.
Born & raised in Southern CA, we sold our home, resigned our jobs and said goodbyes to family. We relocated as full time missionaries with FamilyLife in Little Rock, AR in 2009. We have lived near Cru headquarters in Florida for a time. We are currently serving FamilyLife from just outside of Boston, Massachusetts.
The Lord has called us to joyful worship of Him. He has called us to adoptions, to submission, to suffering, to changing, and to growing. He has called us to total dependence on HIM. We pray He is glorified as we put all our hope and trust in Jesus.
I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart: I will tell of your great wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
Psalm 9:1-2
We give God all glory, honor and praise for what He has done and is doing to transform our lives.
