Jean Andrianoff might easily have been chosen “Person Most Likely to Spend Her Life Living Behind a White Picket Fence in Mid-America” by fellow students at Geneva College. Instead, God took her and her husband David to Thailand, Laos, Mongolia, and Malaysia over a twenty-five year period of ministry under the Christian and Missionary Alliance and World Concern.
They now live on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, where Jean finds inspiration for writing from God’s creation, family, life experiences and her faith in Jesus. She blogs with a group of like-minded friends at www.wordways.org and is the author of Chosen for a Special Joy, the story of David’s parents and a people movement to Christ among the Hmong of Laos. The Sunday School curriculum she developed for the Lao church is widely used in Cambodia as well. David and Jean have two daughters and two grandchildren.
