Jeny Monson
Twenty-six years ago, one mission’s trip to Guatemala would change Wayne and Jeny's lives forever. God touched their hearts to the core with a call to missions and they sold everything and left their home in Minnesota. It’s a calling that continues to drive them forward with a purpose. They have been missionaries to Guatemala since 1993 and their area of ministry is focused mainly on the south coast of Guatemala, equipping and encouraging the Guatemalan pastors – linking arms with them in ministry.
