FROM LAURA
Hello WIML ladies! I am thrilled to meet all of you and be a coach for the Arizona cohort! I was a WIML participant in 2019-2020, and it was an incredible experience that forever changed my life. I am on staff as a volunteer Assisting Pastor at Lifespring Foursquare in Federal Way, WA, where I oversee Women's Ministries, our Care Team, and our Lifegroups. I also sing on the worship team, and I am on the preaching team.
In 2016 the Lord called me to be a pastor. I promptly told Him that He had made a big mistake! For two years, I argued with the Lord about everything I felt disqualified me from becoming a pastor. Then in 2018, on a trip to Israel, I experienced a radical encounter with the Lord and began the path to becoming a licensed Foursquare pastor. I was licensed in May of 2020, and in September of 2022, I was ordained. I also graduated in May of 2022 with my Master's in Theological Studies from Life Pacific University. Saying “Yes!” to the Lord and surrendering to His will has been such an incredible journey, and my time in WIML has played such a significant part in all of it!
My "paying gig" is that I am the Chief Administration Officer for a large electrical contractor in Seattle. I have been there for over 20 years, and to see how God has used me in a secular place of business to minister to His people has been amazing. I feel very fortunate to be in a position where I can speak Jesus to people who might never even consider crossing the doorstep of a church.
I have been married to my amazing husband, Dave, for 28 years. We have six adult kids and four grandkids! We live in Bonney Lake, about 45 minutes south of Seattle. Dave and I love to travel, and we recently went to Washington, D.C., for Foursquare Connection, which was amazing!
I am called to compassionately empower God's women, and I truly feel it is a privilege and honor to be your coach! God has powerful things He will do in you and through you, and I am excited to walk this WIML journey with you!
