Mentorship

I ACT because. . . God used others to fight for me, and I now choose to be a vessel for His work and for His kingdom.

Jenna Rose, ’22, is a sweetspirited ambassador for Christ who wants to be a “big sister figure” to younger girls through mentorship. She first realized just how much she loved working with kids and pouring into the next generation through serving in her church’s VBS program and being a leader for the First Priority Club in her high school. Through her time on the Campus Missionaries Team at Cumberlands, that passion has grown.

“As a commuter, I really struggled at first to find my place on campus,” Jenna said. “I actually enjoyed the Christian theology and doctrine class we had to take as scholarship recipients, not just for what we learned in class, but because it helped me make connections and build friendships. I started finding where I fit in here.”

Initially, Jenna thought she would be involved with Appalachian Ministries because of her love for kids, but she ended up joining the Campus Missionaries Team. Through that team, she has learned as well as how to live out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20). She has also become more Gospelminded and has gained confidence in sharing the Gospel with others.

With her budding confidence in evangelism and her understanding of the importance of being discipled and discipling others, Jenna’s ready for a life after graduation that’s full of spreading God’s truth and love to the people around her.
