Growing in Grace: Walking the Sacred Path of Empathy and Compassion - Jennifer Lopez 

Jennifer is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of California, holding a Master’s Degree in Professional Clinical Counseling from Liberty University. For over three decades, she has faithfully served in full-time ministry—20 of those years alongside her husband and three children as a missionary in Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines.

Today, Jennifer continues to pour her heart into ministry as the Senior Women’s Ministry Leader at the Valley Church in Los Angeles, while also walking alongside individuals and families through her private counseling practice. Her greatest passion is helping others transform into the likeness of Christ through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, experience His love/healing, and discover their God-given mission.

Outside of ministry, Jennifer finds joy in cheering for her favorite teams—the San Francisco 49ers and LA Dodgers—and cherishes her weekly Sabbath Rest at the beach with her husband, where they delight in God through meditation, prayer walks, books and a restful nap under the sun.
