Jen Ashcraft

Jen Ashcraft is a graduate of Cedarville University and lives in Ohio with her husband, their two children, a sneaky dog, and a Garfield-like cat. Like Rachel in the story, Jen has seen God's faithfulness to reveal His presence, light, and peace in many a fearful situation in her own life. Jen has served God as a middle school Bible teacher and currently serves Him in an international Bible study. No matter what the role, she enjoys connecting with others and being used by God to encourage people of all ages to trust God's faithfulness and power.
