Who

Dean Jessup is currently retired from daily operations of an animal agriculture products development company, Agrarian Solutions. However, he remains President of the Board. In retirement, he has had the opportunity to get deeply involved with mission efforts. Some earlier mission work was connected to a boy’s school in Honduras, El Sembrador, which operates a farm in support of the school. It was on a trip to Honduras that his wife, Jan, encountered a rural family that had no water source. This opened their eyes to the world problem of access to clean water. Shortly after, they were introduced to Design Outreach, which provided an opportunity to give back and help in alleviating this global problem. Dean and Jan live in Goshen, Indiana.

J. Kelly Williamson knows the importance of clean water. As the founder of AquaShield Inc., he has worked to manufacture water treatment systems for stormwater and industrial runoff, industrial process water, and filtration for non-potable water sources. Kelly, who lives with his wife Patsy in Chattanooga, Tenn., serves on the Water Quality Association Research Foundation task force that works to secure new research grants. His passion for ensuring all have access to safe and reliable water is founded on furthering the work of God. After all, he says, water was His first creation we see in Genesis 1:2, “and Rauch ha-Kodesh (Holy Spirit) was hovering over the waters.” With a degree in Geology/Earth Science from Middle Tennessee State University, Kelly began his career with the Boy Scouts of America and Conoco Oil Company. He also worked as an independent environmental remediation consultant/contractor. Kelly’s devotion for giving back is evident in his work with The Timothy Initiative (TTI) on church planting globally, the Moody Bible Institute and its aviation program, and the Teen Challenge of SE Tennessee. He has three adult children, Rosalie, Jack and Bud, and enjoys flying as a private pilot..

Mary Mungai first heard about Design Outreach through the Rotary Club of Delaware.

Hearing about Design Outreach's work and the impact already experienced by millions of people in Africa and beyond, Mary wanted to get involved.
