Ministry Overview:
Jen serves as the international partnerships and strategic planning coordinator at Home of the Swallow (HOS). Our mission is to foster holistic transformation in the lives of single mothers and their children. We reduce child abandonment and abortions by inviting expectant women to live in a safe house where they can receive resources, mentoring, and family-style supportive care. Home of the Swallow equips parents with tools to cultivate emotionally healthy, independent families through such services as parenting courses, professional therapy, vocational school, and life skills training. HOS’s nursery and after-school programs, led by godly caregivers, nurture children of clients when they begin working, as well as families in the community.
Minh serves as the executive director at Cornerstone Counseling Foundation. Our vision is: “Embodying hope and healing to empower others towards greater wholeness and reconciliation with self, others, and God—locally to the people of Thailand, globally to Christian workers.” We provide confidential and professional counseling, consultation, and training from a Christian perspective for individuals, marriages, families, teams, and organizations. We are also a training site, providing internship programs and residency rotations for MA, PsyD, and PhD students.
