Anna Jimenez (Strom)




In the Fall of 2000, Anna Strom came as a student to Portantorchas from Estes Park, Colorado. With excellent Spanish, a servant's heart and attitude, and great leadership, we were happy to have her as a part of our family. As is the case with many of our students, we never heard from Anna again, until a few years back I heard again (I can't quite recall the reason or occasion).

Anna had moved to Honduras to work in the slums through a ministry called Servant Partners. Anna has been serving the urban poor through multiple means (you can check out her blog at http://annajstrom.blogspot.com/ or http://annadejimenez.wordpress.com/), from sharing the gospel with children, to partnering with churches to send missionaries into the harvest field.

In August of 2008, Anna married Guillermo Jimenez, a Honduran who shares Anna's passion for reaching out to those around him with the Gospel. Guillermo has a MA in Economic Development from Eastern University. Pray for Anna and Guillermo as they are finding ways in which the Lord will use their gifts and talents for His glory and honor.
