Our friend Jenny recently entered in to battle with breast cancer. As you can see by her expressions in the posters above, Jenny is a fighter, a warrior, a powerful spirit. Jenny is an artist who has developed an absorbing approach to canvass while living in El Salvador for the past seven years with her husband Dave, and now her two lovely children. Jenny’s art reflects her passion for all of God’s children to grow in His love and justice, and her expression of the beauty of creation is capturing and refreshing. She describes her paintings from her El Salvador Series like this:

The paintings display the beauty, struggle, despair and hope that have defined our experiences in El Salvador. Some are based on very personal experiences while others unveil my struggle with social, political and/or economic difficulties that Salvadorans face.

We have always admired and respected Jenny’s passionate and open spirit. Jenny and Dave have been quite an inspiration to us over the years and we are proud to be their friends. We are fighting with them in full confidence that, in Jenny’s words, love will conquer all!

If you have not seen their link on our blog, now is the perfect time to check out their site. You will be inspired, challenged and certainly impressed by the incredible gifting of art and expression that you will find. They also have a Cure Cancer Store that has some incredible items featuring the art above.

Jenny donated 10 inches of her long locks to Locks of Love, keeping a pink strip as a statement of firm determination. It has been an extraordinary process this past couple of weeks to watch as Jenny and Dave stand unyieldingly in the hope of our Good Father, that He is taking care of them in the midst of this battle, that His desire is healing and restoration, that He is Good, all the time!

Thank you, Dave and Jenny, for your beautiful inspiration and display of the heart of God through this journey, your joy in the midst of suffering, and your persistent pursuit of life, promise and hope. Keep fighting.

Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. -Matthew 6:10
