Jennifer Kingsbury, President and Administrator

Jennifer spent most of her young life on the road, as she moved 27 times before age 17. After graduating from high school, she got her BA in psychology at CSU Long Beach and went on to a master’s program in occupational studies for adults with disabilities. In 1999, she had a calling for the mission field and has served overseas in China, Russia, Europe, Israel, and the UK, helping in orphanages, impoverished populations, and church administration. She spent a number of years arranging travel for large mission groups in the church. In 2006, Life’s Mission moved back home to help with Grandpa Bud, as his health had declined. Through many visits to the VA Hospital with him, she saw so many warriors who were still fighting the battles in their minds. It was then she knew that Grandpa Bud’s story had to be told so that others could benefit somehow.

That dream became a reality as Jennifer had the honor of being executive producer and narrator for the film Bud’s Odyssey, the epic survival story of her grandpa, Robert E. “Bud” Kingsbury. Jennifer has worked as a travel agent for the Disney company in Anaheim for the past 17 years and enjoys traveling the US and worldwide with various church and charitable organizations.

Her passion is to help others find healing and strength, and she considers it a great honor to serve as administrator for the SOARING WINGS FOUNDATION.
