'We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.' -- John Stott

Welcome!

As you may have gathered from the name, this website is about Jason and Emily Atkins. We are missionaries with Youth for Christ and we are pretty crazy about a tiny little country in West Africa called Guinea-Bissau. We are returning to Bissau on June 3rd! We can't wait to get back, see our friends, and get going on all of the projects we have. Check out the rest of website to find more information about us, our team, what we're doing, and how you can be a part of it. Don't forget to take a look through our pictures and videos too!

What's New?

Only five days left before we leave, and we have a new dog to take with us! Details (and pictures) are in my blog post.

May 13th
We are going back! We will fly out on June 3rd. Yikes, that's only a few weeks away! We're really excited to get back to Bissau and get going again.

May 7th
Today I finished work on the first prototype windmill that we'll be taking with us to Africa. It might not look like much, but it's the culmination of an eight month project and it feels good to get it done!
