Jessie Rosser

Jessie Rosser (born 1921;died 2013) was a Missionary of the Canadian Baptist Ministries who served in India for over 40 years[1][4] and was Principal of the Eva Rose York Bible Training and Technical School for Women in Tuni, Andhra Pradesh.

Jessie worked as a school teacher at St. Thomas, Ontario for some time and then studied social sciences[5] at the McMaster University from where she graduated in 1947[5] with a B.A.

[6] In 1987,[7] the Canadian Baptist Ministries recognised the services of Jessie Rosser as a missionary to India by then General Secretary of the Canadian Baptist Ministries, Robert C. Berry who presented Jessie with a pin acknowledging her 40-year service.

When Jessie Rosser came to India during 1947[6]/1948,[8] the members of the Centre Street Baptist Church in St. Thomas, Ontario formed a Jessie Rosser Mission Circle in honour of her.

In 2009,[9] the circle members comprising 10 ladies visited India to see the places where Jessie Rosser served, especially the Eva Rose York Bible Training and Technical School for Women in Tuni.
