Aaron and Ainsley Whitecar
How the Lord called us to Orange County California?
I was born and raised in Orange County and Aaron in a small town outside Sacremento. After being gone for 8 years, going to college and working for Cru oversees I returned to Orange County. Aaron moved here around the same time to begin seminary at Talbot. We met through a mutual friend and married spring 2024. Aaron felt called to join me on staff with Cru fall of 2022. The Lord has called us to one another and, to together help reach Orange County for Christ.
God has given us vision that Orange County would be steadfast and rooted like a Cedar of Lebanon as described in scripture. That the branches of the tree would expand to reach and shade those outside of the Kingdom of God. That they would be brought into the durable, strong, safety and freedom of the tree; knowing Jesus deeply, and sharing His freedom with others also. We are overjoyed to step in and help bring the gospel forth, along with helping young men and women develop in their faith before stepping out into the post college world.
