Jaime was born in Willmar, MN, into a family with a heritage in missions. His dad, Steve, is the son of martyr, Nate Saint, a jungle missionary pilot who was speared to death in the Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador, South America in 1956 by the Waodani tribe along with Jim Elliot and the team. Jaime grew up in a family that participated in mission ventures in Ecuador as well as in Mali, West Africa, in between businesses that took them from Minnesota to Texas and eventually to central Florida where Indigenous People’s Technology and Education Center (ITEC) is based. After graduating from high school in 1995, Jaime moved with his family to the Amazon Rainforest to help the Waodani tribe learn to do for themselves what outsiders had been doing so that the Waodani could reach their own people with the Gospel. After returning from the jungles, Jaime attended the University of Florida, where he graduated with a degree in marketing. After his second year of college, Jaime married Jessica Shea, a girl he met just before leaving for the jungles. Jaime and Jessica have been married for more than 25 years and have six children, including one set of twins who became their grand finale, as well as one son-in-law. In 2010, Jaime joined ITEC, which was founded by his dad, Steve. In 2012, Jaime became the primary spokesperson for ITEC, helping people in North America and around the world catch the vision for training Indigenous Christ followers with tools to open doors for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
