Jonathan & Hannah Oakes
Jonathan and Hannah met in the 8th grade and have been best friends ever since. Born and raised in Northeast Kansas, they were married after graduating from Kansas State University and have been blessed with seven amazing children: Alden, John, Nohl, Joseph, Samuel, Maria-Cecilia, and Leo.
Hannah worked in the nonprofit sector before embracing the challenges and joys of full-time motherhood including homeschooling their children. Jon worked for several years in engineering and later as the Parish Manager for their home parish in Overland Park, KS.
Deeply convicted of the call to share the good news, God was also leading them down the path of gospel poverty. They found Family Missions Company in 2019 while seeking ways to live out this calling. After serving in General Cepeda, Mexico, they transitioned to a new role in January 2023, bringing the same passion of serving to journey with and support missionaries in the field in their efforts to make disciples of all nations.
Simply put, the Oakes family is beyond excited to partner with you to bring the good news of God’s love to the ends of the earth and fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus in our lifetimes. They thank you sincerely for your continued prayers and support. May God bless you abundantly.
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” – 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18
