Jaco, Costa Rica
Jenna’s vision in life is to see women step into their God-given identity! She has made it her mission to create spaces for women to heal and be transformed. She partners with various ministries to support the work the relationships already present and brings a depth in healing and connection.
As the Operations Director of Wholeness Journey, Jenna handles all of the logistics and organization to make these service-based wellness retreats come to life and spark transformation in the participants. Wholeness Journey brings deep healing to those who are survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation through holistic wellness workshops and experiences!
Locally, Jenna provides advocacy for the girls and staff of Face of Justice, an anti-sex trafficking ministry through hosting day trips and assisting in back-end operations for the organization. Her desire is to create more opportunities for much needed rest and healing through retreat experiences.
Jenna’s heart is to serve women and women leaders. She pursues creating spaces for real transformation to happen and empower them to see who they are and whose they are.
- Women who have experienced trauma, abuse, trafficking and/or prostitution have an encounter with God’s transformative love.
- Wholeness Journey retreats: participants, our partners and growth for more impact and opportunity to share God’s love through holistic modalities.
- Open doors for Jenna to go and serve The Cause partners and their ministries with the giftings in holistic health and administration.
Help Jenna provide fun days for the girls in the safe homes of Face of Justice. These girls work hard in school, counseling, therapy and other activities in their day-to-day. During the months of December and January they get their summer break which means they need to have some fun and just be kids again!
Help me make their summer break as memorable as the ones we had growing up!
Fun Day Costs:
- transportation (gas/minibus) $200
- Food (lunch/snacks) $150
- ice cream stop $100
- Pool spot is donated! Volunteers provide games/activities!
Jenna is expanding her outreach in 2026 by using her gift of hospitality to reach more of her community and invite others into a space of healing.
Her goal is to move into a home that has capacity for hosting missionaries who need a time away to rest. She will have a guest bedroom in a tranquil neighborhood offering a place of solace for those who need to get away.
She plans on gathering people around her table for fellowship, opening her home to those who need a listening ear and to be conveniently located to an active member of the community where her light shines!
To make this dream come to fruition, she needs $650/mo more in funding to cover the rent and higher utilities.
