Jarrett is the founder, Pastor, and Executive Director of Mission Adelante, Inc., a multicultural ministry in Kansas City, KS that welcomes immigrants and refugees. He graduated from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree in 1998. After working at Heartland Community Church in Overland Park, KS for several years, he and his family went to Costa Rica to learn Spanish and then moved to Bolivia as missionaries with South America Mission. The experience of living in a foreign country gave Jarrett a desire to help outsiders become insiders. Sharing life in proximity with immigrants and refugees has instilled in him a passion for loving people from all places. He loves to write about Jesus, the Gospel, the Kingdom of God, and issues related to justice, diversity, and advocacy for marginalized people.
