College Age Missionary Kids


Question:  Can my college age adult child attend the retreat?
Answer:  Your college age missionary kid (meaning they are no longer living at home with you and are over age 18) can attend the retreat, but their travel expenses are at personal expense and cannot be taken from your work account.
Contact Patti Coad at patti.coad@agmd.org, to see if your college age MK can be utilized is some capacity at the retreat, helping out with children, babies, events, etc.

Jon and Alicia Coad's Bio


Pastor Jon and Alicia have two children, Maci and Ethan.  Jon grew up in the Dominican Republic.  While living in the Dominican Republic his heart for ministry came alive, as he and his family ministered to thousands of children.  His parents Dale and Patti Coad, Caribbean Area Directors helped start 17 Latin America Child Care schools in areas where there was no hope for education. 

Jon graduated from Southeastern Bible University in Lakeland, Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in Pastoral Studies. 

Jon’s secret life ambition is to have a children’s event that fills a football stadium with kids and their families.  Jon and Alicia will be working with the babies and children at the upcoming retreat in December.                     

Something interesting about Jon is that he loves it when people cook for him, except for shell fish, as he is allergic.
