About My Family
God brought me to my knees during my divorce. I finally gave up and allowed Him to use me in any way by laying my “yes” on the altar. He has given me a life that I never dreamed of, leaving the haven of a “safe” job of 20 years to begin a new career in church ministry and mission work.
I spent five years working for a church learning the ins and outs of how churches operate. In 2017, the Lord called me to join an overseas mission organization called 20schemes, and I left the only home I had ever known to live in Scotland for two years. I was crushed to have to come back home when my time had ended but God had other plans for me. He has been so faithful and good to me in this journey He has set me on, and I am forever grateful.
I have two sons, both married, and four grandchildren whom I absolutely adore and totally missed.

About My Church Plant
Due to my own personal experiences with being an older single woman, God has laid compassion, understanding and a willingness to speak with other older women regarding God, the gospel and how He can change hearts and lives. I can speak about how much God loves them and hasn’t forgotten them when they may feel invisible or disenfranchised from the world. I tell them that despite age or socioeconomic differences they are valued and have a voice to be heard.
My ministry is simply to point these women to Jesus that they may know who He is and know that His offer of redemption and salvation applies to them, too.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
