Hi guys!! My name is Jenna, and I’m 19 years old.

I grew up in Minnesota, USA with an amazing family. I’ve always known about Jesus, but I recently dedicated my life to truly living for Him. Last September (2024), I did a five-month Discipleship Training School (DTS) in New Zealand through an organization called Youth With A Mission (YWAM). During the school, we learned about God’s character, how to have a personal relationship with Him, and how to share Jesus with others. We then took what we learned and brought it to another nation during the outreach phase, living out the gospel in real, tangible ways. I absolutely fell in love with God and with serving Him like this.

In August 2025, I plan to move back to New Zealand for two years to join the same YWAM base as a staff member. While on staff, I’ll have the privilege of mentoring students through lectures, small groups, worship, intercession, street evangelism, short-term mission trips, and more. I’m so excited to be part of this because God has given me a deep passion to disciple others and help them experience Him just like I did.

Since YWAM is a volunteer-based ministry, I won’t be receiving a salary while I’m on staff—which gives me an amazing opportunity to trust God to provide. I’m currently fundraising to help cover staff fees, living expenses like food, housing, and healthcare, and the cost of outreach trips across the South Pacific.

If you feel led to give—whether it’s a one-time gift or monthly support—I would be so grateful. Every bit helps, and it truly means a lot. Thank you for reading and for considering being part of what God is doing in and through my life!

– Jenna :)
