About Us

Kevin and Kendra Akins has joined our staff as Director for Pastoral Care, Inc.  Kevin is an ordained minister and recently accepted to be the pastor in Elk City, Oklahoma.  He has traveled as a full-time evangelist for the past 10 years. His ministry traveled over much of Oklahoma, Missouri, West Texas and parts of Colorado. Kevin soon realized that many of those pastors are bi-vocational, working full-time on a secular job while fulfilling the duties of a pastor. He and his wife Kendra soon found out the struggles these pastors face everyday.

Before evangelizing, Kevin and his wife served as pastors but have always had a heart for ministers and discovered ways to bring encouragement to them. They established a retreat center called Journey's Inn, built in the heart of Oklahoma. Their goal was to strengthen our ministers and churches through their ministry. Their ministry theme was “Winning the Hearts of Men for the Heart of God in the Heart of America”.

Kevin understands the need for such a ministry as PCI. Too many ministers are leaving the ministry! They need encouragement, support, and a safe place to turn for help. Kevin and Kendra have two children, one married son living in Missouri and one daughter living in Texas.   We are excited to have Kevin and Kendra involved in our ministry!

Jerry has received his bachelor’s degree in Ministry from Southwestern Assemblies of God University.  Jerry met his wife Linda at Southwestern and was married in 1972. Our daughter was born in 1974.

My wife Linda and I have been in Ministry together since 1973. We served as Music Pastors, Associate Pastors, and Lead Pastors in Lovington NM, Midland TX, Grants NM, Las Cruces NM, with the last 19 years in Casa Grande, AZ. We retired from full time ministry in January 2019.

With the Ministry of Pastoral Care and our own experiences in ministry we want to come along side pastors as an encouragement and resource.
