Growing up in Alberta, Canada, Jaclyn now lives in the DR Congo with her pilot/mechanic husband, Brett, and their three young children. Her days are filled with keeping up with the kids, using her skills as a nurse to aid and advise those around her, and seeking to show the love of Jesus to everyone she encounters (as well as tackling the occasional cross-cultural, tropical adventure!).
