“And He said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest”

Luke 10:2

There has been much earnest prayer for the Lord to raise up workers to come and join in the harvest. Praise God, He has answered the pleas of His saints! God has raised up Jennifer Holste as a long-term volunteer from Pennsylvania. Jennifer first experienced the work of TentMaker Ministries in January 2010 when she served in South Africa on a vision team from Calvary Chapel at Chester Springs.

Long after the trip was over, the burden to return and continue serving remained steadfast in her heart. Being a teacher, Jennifer had the summer of 2010 free to assist in our US office. Jennifer served as volunteer, writing curriculum that will be used to teach young teenagers the biblical foundations of basic life skills such as decision-making, conflict resolution, values, drugs and alcohol, HIV/AIDS, and sexual purity.

While she served, God moved mightily in her heart. Shortly after returning home, Jennifer answered God’s call to serve for a longer period of time with us. She left her 7th grade biology classroom in Pennsylvania after 3 years of teaching to join TentMaker Ministries in service to the Lord.

From September through December 2010, Jennifer will continue to write curriculum and serve in our US office while working on raising support and building a prayer team for a planned term of service in Africa from January through mid-July 2011 to help implement the programs she develops.
