Why would a group of professional women choose to sit behind donated desks, coordinate their schedules in order to share office space, and work for a lot less money than they could make elsewhere?
One thing; well, one Person … His name is Jesus. Working at Proverbs 31 Ministries is more than a job and a paycheck to our office staff. Each beautiful face on the cover of this magazine represents an answered call to serve the Lord through P31.
There is not enough space to recite all the ways these incredible women sacrifice their time and talents for God’s glory. Each day they lay down their lives for women they probably will never meet. Amidst the ring of the phone, soft tones of prayer, whirl of shipping books, buzz of events being coordinated, and clicking of keyboards, we wanted to introduce our gals to you and ask them, What do you like most about working at Proverbs 31 Ministries?
LeAnn Rice, Executive Director
The moment I walk through the front door, I feel God’s grace flowing through my sisters. I am loved, accepted and encouraged every moment of every day. These women radiate Jesus in everything they say and in everything they do, and I am overwhelmingly blessed to have them in my life, and honored to work beside them. Oh … Wendy’s chocolate chip cheesecake isn’t bad either! And then there’s Barb’s baked potato soup … yum!
Samantha Reed, Executive Assistant
The grace of God shown by each of my co-workers. It’s strengthened and sharpened me beyond my years. Each one lives out the character of Christ in special ways, and I am honored to walk beside them, serving the Lord.
Teri Bucholtz, Resources Coordinator
Blessed is the word that comes to mind. I think about the many before me who have given so much to this ministry, and they believe God has used them to minister to those “out there.” They don’t realize what they have done for us staff “in here.” Their dedication has given me a livelihood that is meaningful, worthwhile and full of grace and peace.
Wendy Blight, Speaking Ministry Assistant
Every week I look forward to Tuesday morning because it is my day to work in the office. Spending the day with these girls is like a breath of fresh air. We laugh, we cry, we pray, we share stories and struggles, and oh, yes, sometimes we work.
Melissa Taylor, Administrative Assistant and Prayer Coordinator
The women I work with! I am also passionate about the prayer ministry. It is a wonderful privilege to pray with people from all over the world and watch God work first hand.
Holly Good, Personal Assistant to Lysa TerKeurst
I love connecting with many women all over the world. It is a pleasure to learn how God is moving in and through so many lives. He completely amazes me.
Terri McCall, Project Assistant
Working with women who are faithful, have a heart for God and are true prayer warriors is an experience of a lifetime. God knew I needed it. I’m humbled to be a part of this ministry as I continue my journey to wholeness and serve the Lord alongside these beautiful, godly women!
Leah DiPascal, Personal Assistant to Renee Swope
I love working with an incredible team of women who are passionate about their relationship with the Lord. It is a privilege to play a small part in helping women to discover their calling in life.
Kristen Sigmon, Radical Revolution Coordinator
I can’t choose just one, so I have two. The ladies I get to work with – each one shows me a different side of God and inspires me to be a more godly woman. I also love seeing God use our ministry to make a difference in teen girls’ lives.
Barb Spencer, Speaker Ministry Coordinator
God has brought a special group of women together at the Proverbs 31 office. As we each use our gifts, He blesses and ministry takes place. It is a joy and a privilege for me to be a part of this team.
Wendy Pope, Development and Gather and Grow Coordinator
I love our response to a need for prayer. At any given moment, someone could call and need prayer. I know because I hear Melissa praying with them. If the Spirit moves us, we all may come together in an office and fall on our knees to pray, right in the middle of the work day.
From our heart to yours, Merry Christmas. Enjoy celebrating the reason for the season, the reason we serve: Jesus.
