Rob and Jenny both came to faith at an early age and have long had an interest in serving in missions. Rob grew up in a pastor’s home in South Carolina and was called to pastoral ministry while on a missions trip to Tanzania during high school. Jenny grew up on a farm in Illinois and felt God’s calling to missions through several trips to Europe during and after college.

God brought them together in 2006 while Rob was completing his M.Div. at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte, N.C. Upon Rob’s graduation in 2007, they moved to Lancaster, Penn., where Rob served with Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) as the campus minister at Millersville University and Jenny volunteered in women’s, children’s, and music ministry at their local church. In that time, God has grown their family and their desire to serve overseas.

God has called Rob and Jenny to serve with MTW in England, where less than 5 percent of the population attends a church and even fewer attend a gospel-preaching church. Their goal is to help national pastors plant gospel-driven churches. Pray for the Ildertons as they use the gifts God has given to equip, encourage, and grow the Church in the UK.
