Our Story
who we are. who is overland missions. what we do.
Who We Are
JJ and I met in Zambia, Africa, in 2015. It was a fitting introduction, for the Lord would later send us to the field together. JJ is from West Virginia, and I am from Florida. We married in November 2016 and are full-time missionaries on a fantastic team, Overland Missions.
For a combined thirteen years, we have worked with Overland Missions to create a spiritual and physical sustainable impact in the nations. Jesus Christ is the reason why we go. He stepped out of Heaven on a mission to Earth to pay the debt for our evil, give us freedom from darkness, and reconcile us to the Father.
In response to His sacrifice and the gift of salvation, we champion the Great Commission with Overland Missions and our team of financial partners to the most remote places in the world.
About Overland Missions
For Christ, Overland Missions communicates the Gospel in remote places, with an emphasis on the new creation, in order to transform forgotten people, by making disciples and developing leaders. They are an interdenominational organization with the goal to "proclaim the Gospel to the whole of creation," and "make disciples of all nations," (Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:19). Overland has a focus on creating disciples and indigenous leaders both spiritually and physically. From our numerous training schools, Bible studies, and humanitarian work, Overland works as a team to make a generational sustainable impact.

JJ and Jane Marie's Mission
The answer to the greatest needs in the world today is the people of God, filled with the Spirit of God, declaring the message of the Gospel. JJ and I fill this need by serving as International Directors of AMT, Advanced Mission Training.
AMT is a three-month course designed to spiritually and practically equip believers with the skills necessary to make an eternal and sustainable impact in the nations. The program consists of numerous subjects that are a mixture of classroom learning, taught by veteran missionaries, and practical field exercises.
The course is split into two phases. The first 6 weeks are spent is held at JJ and I's home, the flagship International Logistical Base outside of Livingstone, Zambia. The second six weeks are spent at one of our bases around the world
JJ and myself, alongside our leadership team, release graduates of this program into a full-time mission assignment.
