Jennifer along with her children Austin, Sierra and Landen have a micro-loan ministry in Haiti. Because more than 80% of Haitians are unemployed, families struggle to provide even the most basic needs for themselves. As a result, they are in deep poverty, which can lead to social orphans, and violence.
Jennifer's goal is to help families without causing dependency. Motivated individuals are given small micro-loans ($50-$500) to begin a business. Regular discipleship, business training and family training is provided.
Poverty is so much more than a lack of resources; it is really a lack of hope. Through empathy, encouragement and exhortation, the Jennifer strives to live the hope of Jesus by helping families to help themselves.
