Jacob and Jen R. are a married couple who live in Honduras as full time missionaries with AWBE. They are foster parents and both speak fluent spanish. They are currently working in three different parts of Honduras focusing in church planting, farming, and education. They have planted over 8 churches in San Jose de Pane, which had none several years ago. In other places in Honduras, including Central Rio Patuca, they train pastors, plant churches, and provide transportation in hard to reach places. They are also in the process of providing medical missionaries to visit these places, which has been a long time dream. They are major contributors to Joy Christian Academy which is a small bilingual school serving grades Pre-K to 8th grade. Jacob and Jen believe that kids should find joy in learning, that school should be a safe place for them, and that school should be a place for kids to grow in their Faith. Jen has been teaching there for over 6 years and helped develop JOY where she is still a teacher and trainer. In 2021, Jacob also started a 2-acre sustainable farm at the home in addition to teaching a discipleship class to teens every Thursday. As of 2024, the project will be handed over to two local men who have been trained to maintain the farm for years to come while Jacob will continue discipleship with the teens while taking a back seat on the farm. Scotts Hill partners with Jacob and Jen financially and through prayer.
