We’re excited to announce that Jessie Martin has reached her ministry funding goal and has already begun full-time work in the Human Resources department of our Headquarters in State College, PA!
Jessie’s fundraising journey was not an easy path, as our God writes different stories for all of His people. Still, Jessie demonstrated resilience, and the Lord saw her good work and heard not only her prayers, but the prayers of those around her. Not the least of these people was DM staff Megan Williams, Jessie’s support-raising mentor, who shared this: “Throughout a long and sometimes discouraging season, Jessie pressed on toward the goal not simply of full support but of knowing and treasuring God himsel! She thrived when she could see God working on her heart even when there was "no fruit on the vine"..
Plenty of fruit has indeed grown. As she reflected on the season, Jessie shared this with us: “I’m grateful for all the lessons God taught me through my support raising journey. Now I am excited to serve DM staff at all of our campuses by doing behind-the-scenes work in HR!” Her new manager, Brandon Wenger agreed, and added this: “Jessie being added to the department is answer to prayer. We’re excited to have her!”
The wait is over. Jessie is now serving us in this new season of HQ work. We’re already enjoying her wisdom, work, and welcoming spirit. Thanks to the many donors and friends who made it possible.
Congratulations, Jessie!
