She wanted people to know Jesus and be saved, which is why her role at It Is Written mattered so much to her.
Dear Partner in ministry, There is something missing from this month’s letter to you from It Is Written. Fingerprints. Of course, if you were to dust the envelope you’d find fingerprints. Perhaps those of the person who delivers your mail, or those of the printer, or of someone in our office. But one set of fingerprints will be notably missing. On April 8 of this year, It Is Written suffered a terrible loss when one of our treasured ministry team members passed away. Jocelyn Anderson, our associate development director, had been a part of the It Is Written family since we relocated to Tennessee in 2014. She was one of the very first people hired after our move east. The moment I met her I knew she would be perfect. Bubbly, positive, energetic, and someone who loved people, Jocelyn immediately became a vital member of our team, not only appreciated but loved. Responsible for seeing to it that our monthly letters were created and mailed, Jocelyn had a heart for ministry and a love for souls. She wanted people to know Jesus and be saved, which is why her role at It Is Written mattered so much to her. The monthly letters we mail are a major part of advancing the soul-winning ministry of It Is Written. Jocelyn was also the face of our annual Partnership events. If you attended Partnership, you met Jocelyn. She registered everyone who attended and worked out any details necessary for a person or family to have a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Jocelyn loved people, she loved what she did at It Is Written, and she loved God.

And we loved her. For now, we wait to see her again when Jesus returns. But we do more than wait.
