Jenny Beth and Tristan Penson
FAMILY AND FRIENDS:
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.
If you want to learn more about the work of Santiago Partnership, check out the rest of their website or reach out to us. We would be honored for you to consider becoming partners in our journey. We know having support is an important and stabilizing part of making transitions like this. Please commit, first and foremost, to praying for us, praying with us, and opening your heart to learn about what God is doing in Ecuador. If you feel led to give a financial donation, please follow the link below to donate.
