Hi! I’m Maddie, a TWENTY-TWO YEAR old RECENT GRADUATE OF blue mountain Christian University. I was born and raised in Tupelo, MiSSISSIPPI, by the MOST INCREDIBLE parents of all time, JJ and Melanie Jasper. I have the best siblings, brother-in-laws, and nephews a girl could ask for (i’LL SPARE YOU THE LIST OF 20 NAMES). I put my faith in Christ at a young age and it has been the greatest joy of my life following HIM EVER SINCE.

I AM EXCITED TO SHARE THE OPPORTUNITY GOD HAS GIVEN ME TO SERVE IN KIJABE, KENYA WITH AFRICA INLAND MISSION (AIM). AIM IS A CHRISTIAN MISSION SENDING AGENCY DEDICATED TO BRINGING THE GOSPEL TO THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA, AND I AM THRILLED TO JOIN THEIR EFFORTS AS I BEGIN TEACHING AT RIFT VALLEY ACADEMY THIS FALL.

TO STATE MY STORY BRIEFLY, THE LORD GRACIOUSLY INSTILLED IN ME A LOVE AND PASSION FOR MISSIONS AT A YOUNG AGE. THROUGH FERVENT PRAYER AND SEEKING HIS GUIDANCE, GOD OPENED ONE DOOR AFTER ANOTHER, LEADING TO A TEACHING POSITION AT RIFT VALLEY ACADEMY.

RIFT VALLEY IS A SCHOOL IN KIJABE KENYA WHOSE GOAL IS TO EDUCATE AND DISCIPLE STUDENTS IN CHRIST JESUS, THUS ENABLING MISSIONARY FAMILIES TO SERVE. WHILE AT RVA, I LOOK FORWARD TO TEACHING SIXTH GRADE ELA, SOCIAL STUDIES, AND BIBLE. I AM GRATEFUL TO PLAY A ROLE IN ADVANCING THE GOSPEL THROUGHOUT AFRICA BY INVESTING IN THE LIVES AND EDUCATION OF THE STUDENTS AT RVA.

I KNOW THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO DO THIS ON MY OWN. MY PRAYER IS THAT THE LORD WOULD BE PLEASED TO USE ME FOR HIS GLORY, BY HIS STRENGTH AND ALSO BY THE SUPPORT OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST THROUGH HIM! I WOULD BE BEYOND BLESSED IF YOU WOULD PARTNER WITH ME IN PRAYER.

JOIN ME IN PRAYER AS I ACCLIMATE TO THE NEW CULTURE, BUILD RELATIONSHIPS, PREPARE TO TEACH, AND AIM TO DISCIPLE STUDENTS AND SHARE THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST WITH LOST PEOLPE. PLEASE PRAY THAT AS I CONTINUE TO SEEK THE LORD, I WOULD GROW IN HIM AND GLORIFY HIM IN EVERYTHING.

I PLAN TO KEEP YOU UPDATED AS I PROGRESS THROUGH THE PREPARATION PROCESS AND ONCE I AM ON THE FIELD, SO YOU CAN SEE FIRSTHAND THE IMPACT OF YOUR PRAYER!

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO PERUSE MY PAGE AND FOR PARTNERING WITH ME IN PRAYER. YOUR SUPPORT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME, AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HOW GOD WILL WORK THROUGH YOU AND I TO ADVANCE HIS KINGDOM.
