Kelly Jessen
Director of Missions Abroad

Kelly graduated from Southwest Missouri State in 1993 with a degree in Computer Information Systems. He then spent the next 9 years in corporate America developing his management skills. Jenni practiced as a midwife for seven years and delivered close to 300 babies, including their last child all by herself. Then the Lord asked them to work two years as missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators. Kelly managed software development for linguists and translators around the world and in his work was privileged to take several trips overseas. Jenni worked full time homeschooling their four kids and ministering to other missionary wives.

Kelly and Jenni love the outdoors, sports activities, motorcycle riding, traveling and spending time with their children.
