Kyle and Melissa Jenkins
After Kyle experienced a miraculous transformation when he began following Jesus, he knew that if Jesus could change him, he could change anyone. This truth has shaped how he and his wife, Melissa, live and minister. They believe no one is beyond the reach of Jesus. They have discovered that there is a tremendous openness to Jesus if they simply show love to people. Loving and reaching all peoples is their life’s mission and purpose. In 2003, they began their ministry, Loving All Peoples (formerly Vickery Meadow Ministry), after moving into the diverse Vickery Meadow community in Dallas, Texas. From the beginning, their desire has been to love and reach people from every background, no matter who they are, where they are from, or what they’ve been through.
Throughout their ministry, they have worked among international people groups, including refugees and asylum seekers, lower-income communities, those struggling with addiction, women in the sex industry, including victims of sex trafficking, and several other marginalized communities.
Currently, through their Bible-based English program, they continue this mission by serving international friends both online around the world and in person in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. They provide an environment to learn and practice English, create meaningful discussions, encourage cultural exchange, build lasting friendships, while giving people the opportunity to learn about Jesus.
