A Personal Word from Jean

"Without a doubt, the driving passion of my life is to share the radical transforming power of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Having come to know the Lord Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior at the age of 24, I can testify of His amazing grace. I am a work in progress, but I am thankful that my practice is beginning to match my position in Christ.

I have often said, "Things happen to me that don´t happen to other people." Therefore I can draw from an unlimited supply of personal illustrations, combine these with a sanctified sense of humor, and in this way delight in sharing profound principles found in the Word of God in a practical and personal way. It is my conviction a joyful heart is good medicine (Prov. 17:22) that can make even the difficult things of life easier to endure.
