Dear family, friends, and strangers reading Jenna’s blog,
This blog was not written by Jenna, but by the other members of her team. As Team Joyful Fortitude, we have been with Jenna since day one of her World Race journey. We have gotten to see her grow and serve the Lord in India, Nepal, Vietnam, and Cambodia. We wanted to take a moment to share with you how God is moving in and through Jenna`s life.

Janibel: Jenna is one of the sweetest woman I know. She is so on fire for the Lord. I love the passion and excitement I see in her when she shares about Jesus. She brings so much peace and wisdom to our team. Her pursuit and passion for the Lord is truly admirable. I’ve seen her grow in self confidence and understanding her identity in Christ. She also has some awesome one liners and her laughter is contagious. I love Jenna! Our team would not be the same without her!
Quinn: I don’t even know where to begin with Jenna. She continues to surprise me the more I get to know her. I have loved getting to walk along side her the past four months. She has grown so much and it is so cool to watch her becom the young lady God has made her to be. She is incredibly wise and always has something encouraging to say to you. She may be quiet, but is filled with so much knowledge and love. She loves well. I love watching her interact with the children. She is always laughing, dancing, playing and loving on them. She always has at least one hanging off her. I have loved watching her grow and I can’t wait to see what else is in store for her on the rest of this journey!
Hillary: Jenna is my sweet friend who has kindness deep down in her heart for the Lord AND people. One time we were in a remote village in Cambodia and shs sought out a sweet, old woman who didnt speak English. Jenna held her hand and made the woman feel loved and cherished, regardless of the language barrier- That, y’all, is true compassion and love for God’s people. The Lord has written Jenna’s story as one of redemption, forgiveness, and freedom and it has been an honor seeing her walk in that. Jenna is funny, gentle, wise, compassionate, and joyful and the Lord is just getting started with His plan for her.
Anna Beth: Jenna is the sweetest person you will ever meet. Her story is one of radical redemption & the grace of God. She walks in the authority of Christ. She boldly proclaims the truth. Over the past four months I have gotten to see her grow in her self-worth as well as in vulnerability with our team. She has taken on a no makeup challenge and rocked it. I love watching her interact with the people we meet on the street as well as older women in the villages. She is trustworthy. She is strong. She is valued by our team. She walks in full surrender to the Lord. She is becoming more & more of a woman of faith rather than fear.
Allison: Jenna has such a heart for the things of God. Her faith in what God can do in her lives and the lives of those around her points us toward Christ. Her story is amazing and seeing her grow in boldness to let God use her is so encouraging. She is compassionate and notices the people others might look over like an older woman on the street or a child hiding in the shadows. She gives of herself so willingly and geniunely loves every person around her. She has grown so much on the race and is someone you can count on to give biblical advice and point you back towards God. She is quick to obey the things God is telling her and always hungry to see the Lord move.
Linsey: JenJen!!it is true, Jenna is one of the sweetest and heavenly person you will meet. JenJen is so kind and compassionate. She gets on FIRE when she speaks the word of God.She know how to flow in the things God shows her. I admire her faithfulness to always go deeper in the things of God. I have enjoyed our conversations. I have seen her step out in being bold and courageous.
