Patricia was born in Winnipeg, MB. She is a graduate of Laurentian University (B.A. in Native Studies) and Acadia University (B.Ed.).

Terry and Pat met at Providence Bible College and felt a deep sense of call to marriage and ministry together.

After Terry completed his M. Div. at Acadia, the Jankes moved to Thunder Bay, ON, to pastor First Baptist Church. Pat worked as an elementary school teacher and for 10 years taught music to young children.

Terry likes sports, carpentry and playing guitar. Patricia loves all things musical, enjoys cross country skiing, swimming and quilting.
