Jennie Mitchell (1885-1978): Today we will be looking at one of Pastor Chuck Smith’s favorite speakers, leaders, and visionaries. She was a frequent speaker at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa during the “Jesus People Movement.” Jenny was born on the plains of Nebraska. Her father was a horse thief. After moving to Los Angeles at the turn of the century, she was called by the Lord into full time service. During her sixty years of ministry, she traveled the world sharing the gospel, started the GO YE FELLOWSHIP with her husband Andrew, and had a weekly radio broadcast. Her story is both colorful and extraordinary!

-Born on the Nebraska prairie, in 1885 and died in Ethiopia at 93 years old in 1978. 
-Family eventually moves to LA
-Meets Hubert & Elsie Mitchell, who lead her to Christ
- Married Hubert after Elsie’s death, becomes stepmother to his 4 kids
-Attended Biola University and founded Go Ye Fellowship where they successfully sent out many couples to the mission field 
-Traveled the world ministering to missionaries and sharing the Gospel, including moving to Brazil in their 80s
-She performed an exorcism, evangelized at brothels and never let a child pass by her without sharing the love of Jesus.
