Josh & Amy Jensen
Cambodia
Josh and Amy are member missionaries sent out from Hampton Park. Josh is the son of Ken and Joan Jensen. He earned a B.A. in English and an M.A. in Bible Translation from Bob Jones University, and he completed his Ph.D. in Linguistics from The University of Texas at Arlington in the spring of 2013. Amy grew up in New Jersey, where her dad was a pastor; when she was in high school, her dad answered a call to a church in York, Pennsylvania. Amy earned her undergraduate degree in Music Education, her master’s degree in Bible, and her doctorate of education in Curriculum and Instruction, all from Bob Jones University.
In the summer of 2002, Josh went on a survey trip to Cambodia with Jeremy Farmer and Brian Kane to visit the Crowleys. That trip set him on the course to go to Cambodia for long-term ministry. In the spring of 2006, Joshua went back for three months to do linguistic fieldwork with the Jarai people, a minority group in the northeast corner of the country.
Josh and Amy left for Cambodia in July 2014, and they have settled in Oyadao, a town near several Jarai villages in Ratanakiri province. Their primary ministry is Bible translation and Bible teaching for the Jarai people. Besides homeschooling their kids, Amy studies with and disciples Jarai and Khmer ladies.
The Jensens have seven children: Rebecca, Isaiah, Anna, Clara, Ezra, Micah, and Maria.
