Correspondence Bible Lesson Program Coordinator.

I was born & raised in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. I am the oldest of seven children of six girls and one boy. My husband, Johnathan, and I have been married since 1983 and have one grown son. We have been involved in youth ministry all our married lives as stateside and overseas missionaries for a total of 23 years. We moved back to Lakeland FL in Dec. 2006 for our son to pursue professional basketball.

As a little girl of 7 1⁄2 years old, I put my faith & trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior through an afterschool Bible club, much like the ones that Camp Gilead runs.

My favorite verse and life verse is Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you have not known.”

This was God’s promise to me that He had plans for this rural, small town, Pennsylvanian girl.

The Lord has given me the spiritual gifts of helps, mercy and hospitality.

Since becoming a part of the Camp Gilead family in 2017, I have come to love all that we do to share the Gospel with children, young people and families.

My prayer for this ministry is that it would continue to grow in reaching more and more young people with the Gospel, equipping them to be able to share the Gospel with those who are in their lives and with whom they come in contact every day, in a safe place, all for God’s glory!
