About the episode
Meet Jenny Lam
Jenny Lam was born and raised in a loving Catholic family in Calgary, Alberta. Although she struggled with her faith throughout her university years, she experienced her re-conversion in 2017 when she met campus missionaries from Catholic Christian Outreach and gave her “YES” to Jesus after attending a Catholic conference for young adults in Ottawa.
She graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Nursing degree and has been nursing for 5 years now. She currently works in the Emergency Department and found joy amidst the chaos. Jenny has really found her passion for living out a Christ-centred life through her vocation of caring for patients in their most vulnerable times. She is also a youth minister at her home parish and strives to help young people encounter Jesus. As well, Jenny has a heart for mission to serve in third world countries and will hopefully be able to fulfill that dream in the near future.
