Andrea loves gardening, technology, drinking coffee and eating; especially meat! She loves eating so much that she has to do CrossFit. She actually loves that too. Crazy right? She adores her husband, three children, beautiful granddaughter and her two remarkable Bengal Manx kitty cats. Years ago, she developed a relationship with God after watching Joyce on TV and listening to her teaching tapes on cassette...remember those? So, she became a partner in 1996 and started working at JMM in 2006. Now she travels around the country thanking our Partners for helping others like her discover the love of Jesus Christ!

When Charlotte's not with her 3 sons, 6 grandkids or 1 precious great-grandchild, she's probably cozying up with her Pomeranian or piddling in the dirt. Her favorite time of the day is in the quiet morning with Jesus and her first cup of coffee. Charlotte has been with JMM since 1988 and loves working with our Partners because they are so sincere and have such big hearts to help other people!

Amber is smart. She likes to start every day with a large cup of coffee and Jesus. This forward thinking may have begun when she was an exhausted college student at The University of Missouri St. Louis…it’s how she survived. Amber has been a part of JMM since 2017 and absolutely loves working with our partners. She loves hearing their stories, praying with them and sharing with them the amazing impact they are making around the world!

You can’t help but smile when you are around Angela—her enthusiasm for life is contagious. It’s this energy that keeps her going all day since she is one of 5 people in life that don’t like coffee. The rest of us don’t understand. She and her husband, Tyler, are the biggest Packer fans on the planet. No, really. And she would choose a steak over a cupcake any day. Angela joined JMM in 2015 and since then, she has shared her beautiful servant’s heart with everyone she meets. It’s why she loves working with and serving our partners!

Naomi, whose last name takes at least a year to be able to pronounce, has been a part of JMM since 2010. Having recently been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, she is all about finding new ways of cooking gluten free so she can still enjoy her favorite yummy foods like pizza and cookies. Take it from us—she can make some mean cheesy potatoes. Naomi and her husband, BJ, love to travel—whether that means down the road or across the country. Naomi has a huge heart and loves listening to our partners share their story of how God has impacted their lives.
