Change always comes bearing gifts.

Missions
As a Christian and as a person who cares about the less fortunate, Jennifer enjoys doing mission work.
Locally
Mission work can happen right here at home, by giving time and energy to those who cannot do for themselves. At any given time, Jennifer is involved in local projects and individuals on a volunteer basis.
Abroad
Mission work can also happen abroad, which Jennifer has been fortunate enough to do in Bucharest, Romania. For two years in a row Jennifer has served the people of Romania -- a country still recovering from the traumatic dictatorship of almost twenty years ago. She has offered counselling to the residents, training to the health care workers, and given seminars. Please see the attached newspaper articles for more specifics.

A caring local doctor, Dr. Lourens Perold, heads up a medical team of volunteers each year to serve an area in
Africa. When asked why he does this, he responded:
The reason I'm there is quite simple: A grateful heart pushes me to follow in the footsteps of Jesus -
trying to do my bit in Africa where there is a whole pile of brokenness and Liberia is one big chunk in that pile.
Lord make me an instrument of your peace - where there is sadness let me sow joy!
Jennifer is headed to Liberia in March of 2010 to follow in the same footsteps. You can help. For more information please visit Africa 2010.
