Getting to know Equip Group Leader, Jennifer Colunga...
Meet Jennifer Colunga. Jury Administrator, mom to Matthew, and our incredible Equip Group Leader from Oak Lawn! Her group meets every 3rd Wednesday at 7 p.m. and we hope you can join this week!
Jennifer Colunga received her master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Texas at Dallas. She worked in the legal field for six years, until she accepted her current position as the Jury Administrator for the United States District Court. As a leader in the court administration, Jennifer tries to apply her Biblical values and beliefs in her day-to-day tasks, being a light wherever she goes.
Jennifer is a mom to a wonderful little boy named Matthew. Her journey as a single mother has not been easy, but it was during these difficult times that she learned to lean in closer to Christ than ever before. She often states that it was her son who inspired her to pursue a relationship with Christ.
At first, Jennifer didn’t feel like she had what it took to be an Equip Group Leader. When EBF staff member, Victoria Leiato, brought the idea to her, Jennifer was reluctant. Jennifer felt she was somewhat “new” on her journey with Christ and didn’t believe she could inspire other women or teach other women about the goodness, grace, and love of Christ. But she didn’t allow her uncertainty to disqualify her and she accepted the call.
Today, Jennifer aspires to have an Equip Group that allows women to be completely honest and transparent without feeling shame or judgment. She hopes that she can equip every woman who attends her group with the resources necessary to improve their relationship with Christ. She tries to challenge every woman to take another step forward in their walk with Christ—whether that be with serving, tithing, or helping other women to come and know about the love of God themselves.
“Being an Equip Group leader has made me better. Serving these women has brought me an immense feeling of joy and love. It’s my honor to have the opportunity to serve them.” - Jennifer Colunga
Jennifer—your heart is so rare and beautiful! Thank you so much for being who you are and for opening your life to host, encourage, and inspire other women! We love you!
