The strongest part of the net is the place where the ropes form a knot.
My heroes are people who follow God’s lead to connect people to other people.
Eph 4v¹⁶ He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. NLT

I have never met a man with such an insatiable hunger for fun and frolic – but his call from God to teach and build up the Body is even stronger – amazing!  Mark teaches at his own church as well as travels and teaches conferences – working with Pastors and encouraging people not to give up – go Mark!

 

John Ettore – john leads a group of Pastors in North County.  For years he has called these men to prayer and seeking God – times of bringing their churches together for praise times, intercession, fasting, serving the community and social awareness.

 

 

 

Karen Barkman is the front line missionary we are linked to get our donations to the right place.  Karen first traveled to Liberia in 2003, right on the heels of the last civil war. The rebels were still carrying their guns through the streets.  “Seeing the poverty-stricken children, left hopeless, stirred such a depth of compassion in me”, Karen shares “I knew in my heart I would do all I could in my lifetime to make a difference for some of these suffering ones.” That compassion led her on to many more trips into Liberia and to found Provision of Hope.

Leymah Gbowee is a peace activist in Liberia. She led a women’s prayer movement that was pivotal in ending the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003, and now speaks on behalf of women and girls around the world.

Leymah was a single mother of 6 children when she became a social worker during the first war and helped organize a coalition called the Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace movement. She gathered thousands of women and staged pray-ins and nonviolent protests demanding reconciliation and the resuscitation of high-level peace talks. The pressure pushed Charles Taylor (President of Liberia from 1997 to 2003) into exile, and smoothed the path for the election of Africa’s first female head of state, Leymah’s fellow 2011 Nobel Peace laureate Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
