Jesse's Story

The Jesse Brooks Foundations was established in 2002 by the family and friends of Jesse. Jesse was part of a mission team which traveled from Alabama to Montana to teach Bible school for the children in that area. While returning home on June 7, 2002 the vehicle which Jesse was traveling in was involved in a tragic accident. As a result of the accident many were injured, on man was paralyzed from the neck down, and sweet Jesse went to be with the Lord. Jesse was 10 years old.

Jesse was a vibrant beautiful young lady, who loved to dance, be with friends, participate in her church, and most importantly share her love of Jesus with others. From 4 Jesse wanted to be a missionary and travel to NY and Africa.

Today, Jesse's love for Christ continues, through the ministry of her foundation. In 2007 the foundation partnered with Jesse's home church of Solitude Baptist and Art Alive Ministries to build and support the "Jesse Brooks Good Shepherd's Happy Children Home" located in Ghana, West Africa. This home provides safe haven to many children wo have been left homeless as a result of the staggering mortality rate of the adult population in that area. The children are housed, clothed, and educated in a loving Christian environment. The home is staffed by Afiliao Baptist church in Ghana West Africa.
