Advancing the Kingdom

Guest: Dr. Jennifer Singh

Jennifer Singh is currently the Assistant Professor of Intercultural Studies at Ambrose University and serves as a lay-minister in a church located on a First Nation in Southern Alberta.  Prior to this, Jennifer was involved in International Development Work and served with Samaritan’s Purse Canada, the International Christian Alliance on Prostitution (ICAP), and Ellilta Women at Risk (Ethiopia) in a variety of countries including Cambodia, Uganda, and Ethiopia.  Jennifer completed her PhD at the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies (Oxford, UK).  Her research endeavoured to articulate a theological response to prostitution within the context of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia that was informed by the voices of women affected by prostitution and leaders of the evangelical church.  After listening to and learning from those on the margins in the Majority World, Jennifer is now applying her global experiences in her local First Nation’s context as her community works toward cultivating an Indigenous expression of the church.
