She also received both a Master of Arts in Theology and a Master of Arts in Cross-Cultural Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary. Her husband, Michael Cheek, a native of Texas, was her next-door neighbor in Fuller Seminary student housing.
During their thirty-four years of marriage, they have lived in California, Texas, Illinois, Kansas, Florida, and now again in Texas. During her twenty-two years as a homeschooling mom of five, she amused herself by researching and writing about genealogy.
After her daughter, Julia, contracted a mysterious illness, Jessie’s interest changed to becoming an advocate for patients with rare diseases. Jessie has always been very persistent in all of her endeavors, whether it is praying for family and friends, playing her favorite board game, Catan, researching genealogy, or researching her daughter’s mysterious illness. Her Christian faith has sustained her through many challenges. Her motto is, “Nothing is Impossible with God.”view less
