Calla Jean Wright

Calla Jean’s mother’s family came over with the Puritans and her father came from Germany in the late 1800s. She was born in Denver but grew up as one of four children in Laramie, Wyoming. Her father was on the faculty and later staff there. She attended and graduated from the University of Wyoming but attended the Rome branch of Loyola University for a year while her father was with the UN. In 1995 she got her Master’s degree in counseling from Liberty University.

Calla Jean came to the Lord as a junior in college, met Joe at an evangelistic meeting in Denver and has served with him as a missionary in Austria for almost 33 years. She walks and lifts weights several times a week (not from enjoyment), reads, cooks and does different crafts as various times (sewing, Austria painting, knitting, etc.)
