Jamie’s deep relationship with Jesus and her passion for studying law led her to believe she could make a difference in the world. After a mission trip to Nicaragua, she felt God leading her to a different path. Her first Global Ventures trip to the Philippines opened her eyes to the number of people who had never heard the Gospel. Jamie joined GV as an intern in 2008 and served as the Mission Trips Director until 2016. She then worked with Life Impact International helping fight child exploitation & trafficking. In 2022, Jamie returned as a full-time Missionary on the Leadership Team, assisting founders, John & Martine Smithwick, and helping spearhead crusades alongside GV.
