Partners Relief & Development (PRD) is a Christian organization based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We stopped by the PRD office to introduce Jenna Biernesser (a U.S. missionary from Pittsburgh, being sent out through Firstlight this year) to PRD and the work that they do. PRD is the organization that Josiah served with during his gap year, between high school and collage. Through the years, we have gotten to know PRD rather well. Debbie stands with one of PDR’s office staff who knew Josiah when he worked there during his gap year seven years ago!
Jenna is being called to the work with Syrian and Iraqi refugees in the Middle East. And it just so happens that PRD is putting together their Middle East team. After a Skype interview, a good number of e-mail exchanges, and a visit with Brad and Joyce Hazelett, leaders of PRD’s operations in Chiang Mai, Jenna has been asked to join the PRD Middle East team! She will relocate to Chiang Mai, to work with PRD on September 25th. Her new role starting this month!
