Knowing high-school Spanish, Jodi took the missions plunge and spent a month in Spain, a trip that showed her the country's overwhelming need of the gospel—and showed her that God wanted her in missions.
She later served a year with Arriba, BMM's college internship. The trip cemented her call to missions, but her heart was still in Spain. She joined BMM in 2008 and now serves full-time in Spain.
