Jorgen smiles with a fulfilled heart that all went well during this creative presentation about the dangers of child trafficking, told through the story of the little caterpillar. For Jorgen, however, it was not just a children’s story. It became her story.
A young Jorgen, known affectionately as “Ems” by her friends, left her small town and went to Davao, Philippines to study and to work. What she discovered instead was a new home and family in Global Impact. Attending Global Impact’s annual Catalyst Leadership Academy (CLA), had a profound impact on her.
Soon after completing CLA, she was chosen as a recipient of a Global Impact Educational Scholarship allowing her to pursue a degree in Business Administration majoring in Marketing Management at the University of Mindanao.
She views her college experience as a wonderful journey of ‘becoming’ where she faced challenges and learned to overcome them to achieve her goals. The support and encouragement of her Global Impact family helped her to persevere.
When reflecting on the greatest lesson learned during her time as a Global Impact scholarship recipient, she answered with full conviction, “If you are faithful in little things, you will be entrusted with bigger things”. A quote she saw while cleaning the restroom.
Jorgen expresses great gratitude to everyone who was instrumental in her success. Above all, she gives thanks to the Almighty Father for guiding her through it all.
Today, she is a living testimony that a small caterpillar can turn into a vibrant butterfly. She graduated from university with flying colors! Jorgen looks forward to continuing her passion in serving the foundation, empowering young people and ministering to the nations.
