Jayme enjoys hiking, walking, running, reading, embroidery, crochet, and piano. She has had 3 years of Spanish and can also speak a little Cantonese and Pidgin English. Jayme served as a medical volunteer at Mbingo Baptist Hospital in Cameroon from August to November 2009.
Jayme writes: "In the fall of 2009 I went to MBH for 12 weeks to teach and treat patients. It was such an honor to work alongside Pat Lenz who has been serving in Cameroon as a physical therapist through NAB for 37 years! While I was there, I worked with the therapy staff and also served as the guest lecturer for the Central Baptist Convention’s annual physical therapy conference. During my time at Mbingo, I fell in love with the culture and the people of Cameroon. God showed me a different side of Himself in the time I spent being with and worshiping with the Cameroonians."
"When I learned that Pat Lenz plans to retire and return to the United States, I recognized the need to continue her ministry of educating more Cameroonians in physical therapy treatments. I began to pray about taking on this role. After much prayer and deliberation, I accepted an appointment by the North American Baptist Conference. This means that soon I hope to be teaching a Cameroonian physical therapy class as well as continuing to educate the current Cameroonian physical therapists on advances in the practice of physical therapy. I also look forward to building relationships and bringing light into the world where God is sending me."
“The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it” 1 Thessalonians 5:24.
Jayme truly feels that God is leading her to Cameroon in medical missions and discipleship ministry.
