Many of you know me well, but what you might NOT know is that I started working with non-profit organizations in 1985. And over the last 4 decades, I've traveled and worked in almost 80 countries and with hundreds of churches and non-profit ministries. God has given me a great love for the Church, and the incredible varied ways His people are demonstrating His love all over the world. I LOVE the way God is raising up ordinary people to lead and bring hope to this broken world!! From a young age, I loved the Lord and I've had a heart to support and build up His people so they can live out their God-given purpose. I am thrilled to have the privilege to come alongside incredible men and women who are called to bring good news to the poor, set captives free, bind up the broken-hearted and release prisoners from darkness (Is 61)! God has gifted me as a teacher/trainer, and coach/counselor with an enthusiasm for strategy, structure and Kingdom ways. So, I delight in being able to use these gifts to support, build up and strengthen leaders in their calling! When they are fruitful, God is glorified and that is my greatest joy!
The world needs courageous Christ-compelled non-profits and leaders. Venture 1:9 (based on Joshua 1:9) guides these kind of non-profit leaders to a place of courage, health, sustainability and impact, through FREE training, coaching and granting when leaders need it the most. Check out our website and what God is doing!
I am also trained and certified to provide trauma, leadership and transition coaching and Biblical counseling. While God promises to always be with us and to work all things together for good to those who love Him, He does not promise that we won't face hardships, loss and deep wounding. In hard times, we need skilled, trained and called people who can walk with us through difficult times, situations and even suffering. I have been doing this for more than 20 years and count it a great privilege to walk with others in these times in ways that God has walked with me and provided wise, caring and skilled people in my life.

God always provides for where He calls us! Our economy has been hard on all of us! Sadly, some of my faithful ministry partners have lost jobs, others have experienced financial hardships and have had to lower their support or stop it. I am praying for each of them as well as for more prayer partners (email me) and monthly financial partners. If you are already a monthly partner - THANK YOU! And as a current partner, would you pray with me to grow our team and even prayerfully consider increasing your monthly gift $5, $10 or $50 - every gift makes a difference!
