Janna Wisely recently joined our team here at the Mission Office as an Accounting Assistant. She has certainly been a welcome addition to our staff with her secretarial skills in finance and her love for missions. Let’s get to know her a little better.

Tell how and when you came to the Mission Office and what your role is.

I am actually returning to work at the Mission Office having worked here during 1995-2001.  I had been praying for God’s direction for a part-time job.  Bro. Konnerup approached me and asked if I was interested in a job.  God used this to show me answered prayers in a visible way.  I started working on the 26^th of September.  I will be assisting Heidi and Tammy in the Accounting department of the office.

Tell us about your family and your connection to missions.

I grew up in the home of parents that loved missions and attended a church growing up that also loved missions.  I was fortunate to have two different pastors growing up that had been missionaries.  I attended BBC and studied missions.  I worked at the Mission Office for five years before taking a job at South Side Baptist Church as the Corporate Secretary. I currently attend Cherry Street Baptist Church which is a church that loves missionaries.

What did you do before coming to work at the Mission Office?

I worked as the Corporate Secretary/Financial Secretary at South Side Baptist Church in Springfield, MO for 21 years and then as a Realtor. 

Have you ever traveled internationally?

I have visited England three times, France, Brazil, and Mexico all one time.  All on Mission Trips.  I would love to travel more!!!

Outside the Bible, do you have a favorite book?

I love to read!  Mostly I read Christian Fiction books.  I have many favorites!

What indoor/outdoor activities bring you the most enjoyment?

I love to sew/quilt and do random crafts.  I also love gardening and watching my daughters in their Marching Band competitions.

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you order?

My favorite restaurants are Taj Mahal and Everyday Thai.  I love Curry and Pad Thai.

What do you like most about working in the Mission Office?

I love the atmosphere here at the Mission Office and the fact that we can gather to pray as a group. Everyone has been so helpful and encouraging.
