About

Hello fabulous people!! 

If you have gotten to this page it is likely because I sent you the link or you are an avid supporter of The Hope Venture and its various projects. Either way, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, thank you for being you, and I hope you know just how loved you are by God and myself!

Since you are here, you are likely aware that I am planning to head back to Kenya this summer with The Hope Venture to serve on the Kenya Camp team! What that entails is a two week venture where we will be putting on a camp for the 300+ high school students that are sponsored through one of The Hope Venture's projects. Along with that we will have the opportunity to form more bonds with our partners, Nasha Ministries, and visit the various other projects The Hope Venture has with them. These include the goat project, the agriculture project, and the water and sanitation project which is very dear to my heart after being part of the UNL Hope Venture Club this year where we had an event to raise money for this project specifically. All of these are such incredible projects and I am so excited to get to go back and learn about them even more. If you would like to learn anymore about any of these, don't hesitate to reach out!

If you're looking to support me on this journey that would be amazing and I would be so grateful! Here are some areas you can support:

- PRAYER!!! None of this would be possible without God's provision and protection, to make it happen. Continual prayer to Him as we prepare for this trip and are traveling from June 21st to July 5th is truly one of the best ways you can support. 

- financial giving! If you are able and willing I would love to have you support me financially for this trip. I have a goal of raising $3000 to go on this trip and am aiming to have half of it raised by April 22nd. Any amount you are able to give, even $1 means more than you know! There are 2 ways you can give a tax deductible donation:
  1. Right here on this giving page! You can click that orange "donate now" button at the top and enter your information.
  2. You can send a check by mail to this address: 
                              The Hope Venture
                              315 S 9th St #200
                              Lincoln, NE 68508
and put in the memo "Kenya trip - Jena Cruse"
** do not make the check out to me, make them out to The Hope Venture and only mention me in the memo **

- lastly, spread the word! Not just about me and this trip, but about The Hope Venture! The work this organization is doing is truly amazing with the number of disadvantaged people across the world they are able to help. That number is often able to keep growing because of just telling people about it. If you don't feel like you know enough to tell others but you would like to, I would love to answer any questions you have or get you connected even more. 

I want to thank you if you have even read to this point. I just want to reiterate that I am so thank for you and the fact that you are here. You mean so much to me, and I am grateful for you! Also, if you want a glimpse into what camp can look like, the video at the top is from our camp last year!
