Preparing for the move

       In just a few short days, Ben and I will be announcing our move to friends and coworkers! We are so excited and just as we have been preparing physically over the last few months, we have also been preparing our hearts. We have known for quite some time that Birmingham would not be our final stop and are expectant to see what God is going to do in the coming months! 
       We are eight weeks away from moving and are currently focused on setting up our Financial Support Team. This is the next big piece of the puzzle that we will need to complete before moving forward. We are confident that our needs will be met as God is Jehovah-jireh, our Provider! We need about 48 people/families to commit to $50 a month in order for us to be fully funded. This will ensure that we are able to devote 100% of our time to reaching students!
        Most importantly, we ask that each of you would be in prayer for us as we embark on this journey. Each friend/mentor/parent is such a valuable member of our team! We love you guys and can't thank you enough for your encouragement!

With Love,
Ben and Arlin Jett
        

Meet the Jett's

A little about us:

       Ben and I met at Church of the Highlands while we were serving middle and high school students on the Highlands Students team. From the beginning, I knew there was something special about him. Students always seemed to gather around him and were so at ease. Over the past 2 years I have watched him grow into the man he is today and it has been such a honor to witness. I know that God is going to use him to reach and change the lives of many.

About Arlin:

        I grew up in a military family. My dad is in the Navy and because of that, I have been able to see some incredible places and experience some amazing things! I love to travel and meet new people. I have a Certificate of Cosmetology from the Aveda Institute and enjoy doing hair on the side but my real passion is student ministry. My dream job would be speaking to young girls about purity and their worth.
       I'm madly in love with my husband! We have a big ole' 15 pound cat named Gheston. Beauty and the Beast may or may not be my favorite Disney movie. I love reading and am always looking for a good book!

About Ben:

       I was born in inner city Baltimore. Since then I have moved to several different states in the northeast until I landed in Alabama two short years ago. I never pictured myself living in the south but if I hadn't moved down here, I would not have been able to attend one of the best schools to prepare me as a leader and help me fulfill the plan God has for my life. I'm very passionate about student ministry and believe investing in youth is one of the best things that we can do!


       I'm so excited to be married to the most beautiful girl I know! I feel so blessed that I get to call her my wife. Family is incredibly important to me; I am very close to my three brothers and both of my parents. Some of my favorite memories are watching Ravens games with my family! I love to watch, collect, and talk about movies. Usually Arlin and I will sit around and watch them on a rainy day.         

We can't wait to meet and get to know everyone! We are so excited to start this new season!

With Love,

Ben and Arlin Jett
