FIELD
Jackie’s passion in ministry is breaking down the walls that separate students from each other and from God. She feels one of the worst things is seeing a Christian believing Satan’s lies about themselves instead of God’s truth.

Jackie served at Hartwick College and SUNY Oneonta during her staff training, where she focused her efforts on the female college students in discipleship and small groups. After completing her training, Jackie directed the campus ministry at Nichols, and in 2006 changed ministries to become the director of the Worcester State College Campus Ambassadors.

As part of the Worcester State ministry, Jackie ran the Campus Ambassadors House, where she lived alongside students to mentor, support, and train them to live in community. Now Jackie is planting a new ministry at Fitchburg State University.

FAITH
Jackie is originally from southern New Jersey where, at a young age and after the divorce of her parents, she accepted Christ as her Savior to fit in with the rest of the youth group. After that she spent three years trying to gain the approval of others before realizing that God’s opinion is the one that really mattered.

In high school Jackie joined a small prayer group that grew into a large Bible study ministry. It taught her a lot about God, Christian leadership, and herself.

She attended Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York, and discovered Campus Ambassadors there. She graduated in 2002 but then felt God leading her to intern with that ministry.

Through her intern year, Jackie could see that campus ministry was where God wanted her. She was appointed by Missions Door to work with Campus Ambassadors in June 2003.

FAMILY
Jackie and Rob Mayo were married on June 12, 2010. They met while volunteering for a local Christian radio station and became fast friends. Several months later they began dating, and in October 2009, Rob proposed atop a mountain in New Hampshire.

After spending the first year of their marriage living with college students in the CA House, Jackie and Rob now have their own apartment, where they are excited to have their own kitchen with not only a sink but an oven, too!
