Darrel and Kimberly have three daughters: Arianna (13), Abigail (11), and Sophia (7), and a small black dog, Ella (see below). Darrel was born in Amory, Mississippi, and is a graduate of the University of Mississippi and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Kimberly was born in Big Rapids, Michigan, and is a graduate of Missouri Baptist University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
During seminary, Kimberly and Darrel were parts of separate evangelism ministries in New Orleans’ French Quarter. That is where they met in March of 2003. This experience continued to remind both Darrel and Kimberly of God’s desire to reach the nations, and on June 4, 1994, the couple married. Before serving with the IMB, Darrel served as a campus minister with Baptist Student Ministries in Carthage, Texas, and in Springfield, Missouri.
The Hathcocks have served with the IMB since April 2002, first in the country of Belarus, followed by a second term in the country of Ukraine. During their next term the Hathcocks will join us on the Eastern Hungary team, moving to Hungary in June of 2011. Following a year of intensive language study in Budapest the family will move to Debrecen, where they will focus on student ministries. Please pray for the Hathcocks as they continue the process of following Him and seeking His Kingdom.
While the Hathcocks are in the U.S. Ella has been staying with the Millers, helping with computer work and other tasks. She will be very happy to see her family arrive in Budapest in June!
