Jessi Phinney is the youngest daughter of Steve and Jane Phinney, she has 2 sisters, 2 brother-in-law’s, and 17 nieces and nephews (8 biological and 9 as an “adopted aunt” to close friends/spiritual siblings). Her passion is to live her life as a indwelt follower of Jesus Christ in the primary roles God has blessed her with: Bride of Christ, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, assistant, discipler of women, and preparing herself to be wife and mother should God choose to call her.
Passion for Life:
Jessi has a passion to see the Body of Christ respond to the command to pray according to God’s inspired Word (Luke 11:1-13, 18:1, Mark 9:23-24,29), and to develop hearts of intercession for His people (1 Sam 7:5, 1 Kings 13:6, Rom. 8:27, 12:12). To take lives made up of unbelieving prayers and be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit praying THROUGH us (Gal. 2:16, 20), firmly believing that prayer is the “respiratory system” of our faith in Christ.
Jessi also desires to encourage her generation to embrace their biblical roles and God’s original design laid out for us in His Word. Her primary target is women whether unmarried or married to live out their lives in a manner that does not detract, but glorifies their God given design as women of the Word. Therefore, helping protect covenant marriages and raising up future generations to love and serve the Lord.

She also assists and is trained by her mother, Jane, in various homemaking and hospitality skills learning how to serve others within their home.
