Kathie and Dewey Aiken | Baptists on Mission of NC
Dewey and Kathie Aiken are mobilization missionaries with North American Mission Board assigned to work with Baptists on Mission of NC. They serve as on site coordinators for three NC partnerships including the Appalachian Coalfields Ministry, Pennsylvania/ South Jersey and New England.
Using their home in Brevard, NC as a base for ministry from October until April, Dewey and Kathie travel throughout the mountains of West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky. The other six months of the year, they live at the Harrisburg Volunteer Mission House in PA as they primarily work in PA/SJ and three states of New England. Within the ten states of their ministry, there are scores of ministry centers, churches, church plants and associations that use the skills of thousands of volunteers each year. As the Aikens visit ministries, they prayer walk towns, discuss needs and offer encouragement to ministry leaders. The Aikens assist in linking mission teams and long-term volunteers to work alongside these churches to share the gospel and meet needs. They speak in churches and missions conferences to inform others of the need for workers throughout all three areas.
While in NC, being encouragers in a small mountain church and community is another rewarding part of Dewey and Kathie’s life. They also enjoy their family as they have three grown children and eight grandchildren, all living in North Carolina.
