My Story
Childhood
My story began as a missionary kid, born and raised in Asuncion, Paraguay. Paraguay was very closed to the Gospel when my parents first arrived. I was honored to watch my parents bring the Good News of Jesus to the beautiful nation of Paraguay.
Marriage And Ministry

I met my wonderful husband, Mark, at Samford University in the state of Alabama. We were married in 1978, while already immersed in youth ministry at Kingwood Church, Alabaster, AL. After five years, we moved to Springfield, MO where Mark served as lead pastor at Faith Assembly of God and worked on his Master’s Degree in Biblical languages. A year and a half later we returned to Kingwood Church where he has served as an associate pastor.
Family
Mark and I have two gorgeous daughters, two handsome sons-in-law, and seven beautiful grandchildren– all who love Jesus. God has been so gracious to us and we are eternally grateful!
My Passion
My passion is to know God more intimately, to grow in my walk with His Spirit and to help others do the same! May the glory of the Lord rise in His children!
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” Isaiah 60:1 NIV
