Jennifer’s Story

Jennifer grew up in Bungatira under the terror of the Lord’s Resistance Army. At twelve years old, she was abducted and forced into the life of a child soldier—taught to silence her emotions, obey without question, and simply survive.

After escaping, Jennifer began the hard work of healing. What she didn’t expect was that her deepest wounds would become the source of her greatest compassion. Over time, healing became her calling.

A Sampling Of Communities

We’ve Been Invited Into In 2025

  • People walking and sitting near makeshift tents and structures on a dirt pathway, with mountains in the background, at a refugee camp.

    Bujumbura, Burundi

    Burundi is Africa’s most densely populated country. In Bujumbura, life moves between hope and hardship, with over 71% of the population living below the poverty line. Families navigate daily challenges of limited opportunities and economic struggle. Despite these obstacles, community resilience battles to shine through.

  • A makeshift tent made of white tarp and cloth with a green curtain, a blue plastic chair outside, a large blue metal barrel, and dry soil ground with a pair of pink slippers, in a rural area with bare trees and laundry hanging on a line.

    Renk, Sudan

    This town borders Sudan and has become home to more than 400,000 refugees in the past 2 years. Here life is a daily struggle against unrelenting hardship. Dreams are fragile; constantly overshadowed by the harsh realities of survival in one of the world's most challenging landscapes.

  • Two soldiers in camouflage uniforms standing outdoors, surrounded by other soldiers. One of the soldiers is speaking, with hands gesturing, and the other is holding a tablet or similar device.

    Beni, Democratic Republic of Congo

    In Beni, life unfolds amidst the shadows of ongoing conflict, where over 6 million people have been displaced by violence in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Families navigate daily uncertainties, caught between hope and the constant threat of instability. Despite these challenges, and invited to come by a military chaplain, this community spirit of resilience remains unbroken.

  • A rural scene with small huts made of wood and thatch, scattered across dry land with sparse vegetation, under a partly cloudy sky.

    Kapoeta, South Sudan

    In Kapote, more than 72% of its population requires humanitarian aid and families navigate extreme challenges. Daily life swings between survival and resilience, marked by food insecurity and conflict. Yet, there remain glimmers of hope and determination for a better future.

  • A schoolyard with children playing and sitting under a large tree, with school buildings in the background and mountains in the distance.

    Dowa, Malawi

    Located in the central part of the country, where more than 70% of the community lives below the poverty line. Struggle for daily survival is this area’s leading priority. Invited to walk alongside village chiefs weighted by the responsibility of their community’s survival, we await word of opportunity and thriving.

  • A person hugging a utility pole with graffiti on it, with a woman walking on the dusty road nearby, in a rural area with simple buildings in the background.

    Malakal, South Sudan

    Malakal, South Sudan is a war-torn city where most residents live in UN protection camps with limited access to basic services. Before the civil war erupted in 2013, it was the country's second-largest city, but now hosts 37,000 internally displaced people in dire conditions. Interesting fact: The city changed hands 12 times between opposing forces during 2013-2016.

  • A group of people, including children and adults, in a refugee camp with makeshift tents and hut structures in the background, during sunset.

    Aweil, South Sudan

    Aweil, once a major railway hub, is now a relatively stable city in South Sudan facing challenges with food security and limited infrastructure. Invited to come alongside the refugee community who has migrated from Darfur, Sudan, we anticipate the hope and opportunity that can be created here.
