Our Team

It was at Wheaton College that Jennifer was first led into work with internationals, first tutoring internationals studying at Wheaton and then teaching English overseas in China for 10 years with a Christian organization. Believing that being a citizen of the Kingdom of God makes one more aware of one's global citizenship, friendship with people from many different backgrounds has always been something she has welcomed. She continued to work with internationals when she returned to the States and has continued in that work until the present in one way or another. She has been showered with hospitality and support over the years from various people from around the world, both abroad and in the States, and it is her great desire to return that hospitality and support to internationals living in her region, her city, her church, her classes, and those who visit her home. Jennifer is married to a Mexican man who makes her a better person every day through his faith in God, his love, his values, discipline, hard work, and integrity. Jennifer is also in debt to the many close friends from China and Mexico and to her students from all over the world for their perspectives and their sharing of who they are culturally and personally. 

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” - Mark Twain
