Matthew & Julie Allinger

Hello! We are the Allingers and we are missionaries with Biblical Ministries Worldwide raising support to reach the people of Utah. Our mission is to use our skills in biblical counseling to help bring unbelievers to Christ and help strengthen the local church in Utah. 

There are over 3.3 million people in all of Utah and only 5 Biblical counselors! God has given the two of us the desire to help the lost people of Utah come to a knowledge of Him. Additionally, we want to help strengthen the faith of our fellow believers through the use of the all-sufficient Word of God in a way that equips them to teach others also.

2 Timothy 2:2,

"And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also."

We both grew up in Christian homes where the importance of the Bible was taught. Both of us grew up participating in ministries and wanting to follow God wherever He led. Eventually, God brought us to Appalachian Bible College where we began to ask ourselves what God wanted us to do with our lives. God gave us both a passion for missions and a passion for Biblical counseling. It was soon after we started dating that we both independently went to Utah for our missions internships. God laid it on our hearts to reach the lost and desperately hurting people of Utah with the skills He had given us and we began to make plans for a counseling ministry. Soon after graduation, we were married, accepted into Biblical Ministries Worldwide, and moved to Utah to survey the field. We spent almost 2 years evaluating Utah and deciding where God wanted us to go and how we should proceed with His ministry.

We are excited to be out raising support among God's people in churches across America! We know that God has done much to bring us to where we are and all we want is to pay God's kindness forward to the people of Utah! After we are done raising support, we are coming back to Utah to begin the work that God has set before us, starting with getting our master's degrees in Biblical counseling! Our long-term goal is to start a counseling center that not only reaches the hurt and needy but also teaches everyday believers how to continue counseling in their home churches. 

The people of Utah need to see the life-changing work of the God of wonders! We are thrilled to be a set of tools that God sees fit to use in the lives of people who desperately need the truth of God's Word!
