A lifelong follower of Jesus, Betsy has always been a leader. At age 17, she received the call to ministry, then graduated from Bible college. Upon entering the workforce, she became the top-selling salesperson at a major Christian publishing house and later managed the customer service department.

Before joining the founding team for Women in Community, she helped to establish and lead another women’s ministry with a worldwide outreach. Whether it has been through one-on-one lay counseling or teaching the Bible in formal settings, Betsy’s heart has always been to help women discover how good their heavenly Father truly is and that they can have a meaningful relationship with Him. Her approach is down to earth and practical, and she knows from experience that one word from heaven can change a person’s life forever. She is committed to helping women learn to hear God’s voice, to experience His love, and to fulfill their destiny. Betsy has been married to a wonderful godly man since 1988, and together they have two grown sons and a beautiful daughter-in-love.
