Meet the Staff: Jennifer H

Jennifer H.

Jennifer came on staff as the Office Administrator in May of 2008, but she has been familiar with Alpha Relief’s mission since its inception. She enjoyed babysitting the Director’s nephews while she was in Junior High School.

Mexico was the destination of Jennifer’s first missions trip at age 12 and she hasn’t stopped since. Street ministry, construction work, scripture distribution, and speaking to high school students have been some of her activities in Sri Lanka, South Korea, Germany, China, and Madagascar. One of the things that most touched her heart was talking with miners suffering from black lung disease in South Korea.

AR: Where are you from?

Jen: I am a Colorado native and I love it. Having lived elsewhere I can definitely say that I think this state is the perfect place for me. My parents still live in the house where I grew up. I feel like I have deep roots in my community and I’m grateful for the solid foundation my sister and I were raised on.

AR: What has most affected your spiritual growth and path in life?

Jen: I have been exposed to a pretty high level of missions focused ministry and have experienced firsthand

Jennifer and her sister, Sarabeth

the conditions around the world and seen the hand of God move in people’s hearts and lives. He is so faithful and loving, and getting to participate in caring for the people he loves so dearly has forever changed my worldview. There isn’t anything more amazing than having the opportunity to serve another person in the way that the Lord teaches you to.

AR: What do you do for Alpha Relief?

Jen: I do most of the administrative tasks, help with the logistics of the travel schedules, a little graphic design, and my favorite—hearing the stories of people involved with Alpha Relief. I worked at a publishing firm before coming to Alpha Relief, which seemed brilliant for an English major, but I didn’t feel settled there. I am glad to have had the experience, but am so happy to be here doing something that is truly fulfilling.
