Rosemary McEachern Jensen, born July 20, 1929, is the fourth of six children born to Don and Mayhoward McEachern. Raised in a log house on the banks of the St. John’s River near Jacksonville, Florida, Rosemary knew at an early age that she wanted to tell others about God. In the summer of 1946, when a pastor challenged a group of youth to give their lives to the foreign mission field, Rosemary felt compelled to step forward and answer the call. That one step began a seven-decade journey in God’s service, first as a missionary to Tanzania, then as the Executive Director of Bible Study Fellowship International and the Rafiki Foundation, and most recently as the president of the Rosemary Jensen Bible Foundation and on the Board of Directors of Rafiki Classical Academy.
