Jenny Jenkins
Location: Haiti
Hometown: Petersburg, Va.
Commissioned: 2010
Jenkins will use her medical experience to serve the people of Haiti, working to improve the continuity of health care. Prior to being commissioned, Jenkins had traveled to Haiti more than dozen times to provide medical care.
“Since the earthquake my focus has become clearer,” Jenkins said. “There is a great need for follow up care with infections, wound care, physical therapy and the rebuilding of lives. It's an opportunity to be Christ to a people who are desperately seeking a safe refuge. In the past health care was always disjointed at best, and now that the major crisis has passed it becomes the slow painful process of rebuilding. We as Christians have an opening to be Christ to these people as never before.”
