One of the blessings of Drew’s childhood is that he never experienced a that he did not know the Lord. Growing up in a military family, he spent three years in the Philippines and the rest in multiple locations in the U.S. Lindsey, from St. Louis, MO., came to know the Lord at the age of 11 and immediately began to grow in her faith and love for Jesus. Drew and Lindsey met working as youth interns and were married in 2005.

After working full-time in youth ministry for a few years, they decided to pursue degrees at Covenant Theological Seminary: Drew a Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in Counseling, and Lindsey, Masters of Arts in Theological Studies and Counseling. The Wilkins love relational youth ministry through intentional discipleship, and working with MTW’s Global Youth and Family Ministry provides an ideal context for their gifts and abilities. Drew is the Director of Third Culture Kids Ministries and Lindsey is the Girls Ministry Coordinator. The Wilkins look forward to building relationships with the TCKs who are navigating the adventure of growing up on the mission field.
