About Us

Kristi Jamison

kristiWhen I was a child, I lost both of my parents.  Even though my family took my siblings and me into their home and provided love and a wonderful upbringing, life was never the same.  They fostered a desire in me to reach out to the poor and needy of the world and help them with the hurts they experience on a daily basis.  Not knowing how to make that desire a reality, I talked with my high shcool advisor who was formerly a teacher in China.  She encouraged me to complete my college degree and use that as a tool for helping the under privileged.  Because the health care field interested me, I decided to obtain a degree in nursing.

After gaining a few years of experience, I went on my first medical outreach to Guatemala.  After that trip, I knew my purpose in life was to work in underdeveloped countries.  I am compelled to show the hopeless and outcasts that God is concerned about them.  He cares for them just as He cared for me, an orphaned child.

Have you ever known anyone who is self consumed to be truly happy?  Me either!  I spent 30+ miserable years being just that--then I went on my first mission trip to Jamaica in 2001.  We spent a week working in an orphanage just loving on kids that had nothing to their name and who could give nothing but love in return.  My life was forever changed and I realized that I am truly happy only when I am helping and serving others.  I knew on that trip that I would devote the rest of my life to serving the poor and needy in third world countries. Since then I have been on numerous medical outreaches all over the world.  Now that my son has graduated from high school and is settled in college, I can pursue the calling full-time.  I know without a doubt that is what my life's purpose is and I pray I can walk worthy of the calling placed before me.
