Patricia Pennala
Founder / President
Family, friends, and most others call her “Trish”. She is also referred to as the person to go to for all sorts of help and advice. But Patricia Pennala, the founder and president of Ambu Ministry, Inc. seeks no gratification or praise. She sees herself as an ordinary person willing to help anyone with a need. Doing the will of God is her desire and she humbly accepts the fact that it is His power that changes things for the better.
Trish loves nothing more than to help inspire and develop the potential in others. Her interests in people are far more of a spiritual aspect. She knows from experience what it is like living in poverty and being homeless. This is one of the reasons Trish has dedicated her life to making a difference in the world. By establishing Ambu Ministry, Inc., she hopes this organization will help make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
