Patty grew up in New York State. At the age
of nine, she made a profession of faith as a bus kid. As she entered her
teen years, Patty began making bad decisions and was headed toward a
downward spiral to self-destruction. When she was 21, a couple from a
Fundamental Independent Baptist church visited her home. Through this
couple’s countenance and words, Patty realized that what she needed was to
have the Lord in her life. She still held to her childhood profession of
faith, trusting in her prayer. However, once she started attending church,
the Holy Spirit began convicting her of her lost condition. After a year
and a half of struggling with her salvation, on March 28, 1988, Patty
trusted in the work of the Lord Jesus and not in a prayer.
As Patty grew in the Lord, He led her to attend Bible College to obtain a
teaching degree. She received her degree in Elementary Education in May
1995 through Trinity Baptist College, Jacksonville, FL. Patty worked
full-time as a Christian worker for a Christian organization and then
later for her church in the business office.
In 1999, the Lord led Patty to become a missionary to Inuvik, Northwest
Territories of Canada, an Arctic community. She applied with Baptist
Missions to Forgotten Peoples, Inc., and was accepted. After raising her
support, Patty relocated to Inuvik in March 2003 to serve with a
missionary family, teaching school, started a Sunday school class, helped
in the church office, and served in other areas as needed. As other
missionaries moved to these Northern communities, Patty was led of the
Lord to move to another community to assist a new missionary family with a
new work. After just several months of living in this new community, this
missionary family had to relocate back to the States due to a medical
situation regarding their youngest child. This change caused Patty to make
a decision on where the Lord would have her to serve. After much prayer
and counseling, Patty has been led by the Lord to work with Missionaries
Jay & Linda Aarseth in Guam.
Patty will be teaching in their new Christian school, helping with
children’s ministries, teen ministries, and women’s ministry. Her desire
is share the Gospel with the lost, encourage the saved in the Lord, and to
make a difference in the lives of those God brings into her life by
offering them hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.
