Hi everyone!
We are Jenny Beth and Tristan Penson, Santiago Partnership interns starting this year in September!
We currently live in Southern California and Lord willing, we will be in Ecuador for 11 months, starting this fall. We are beyond excited to partner with our new friends in Ecuador and see how Jesus is working in the community there. We are very expectant to see God move and to learn from the culture, the community, and the church in Cayambe. As we hope to pursue relationships and language learning, we are also looking forward to connecting with the work happening with the Santiago Partnership team.
Tristan will be pursuing a Masters in Public Health and will be conducting research alongside SP leadership. Jenny Beth is looking forward to connecting with the staff about trauma-informed care, supporting anti-trafficking and community intervention ministries, and using her massage therapy training.
