MULTICULTURAL PASTOR
After over forty years on the international scene, teaching high school and college youth, Ann delights to be back in Everett where she was raised. Ann served for 10 years as a field bookkeeper, then, in 1985 founded TEAM JOSHUA, a youth discipleship ministry, now led by a national foundation. Ann serves on their board of directors. In 2010, Ann, with friends in the States, founded i.S.E.C., a volunteer electronic outreach to students to help with their conversational English and to build relationships through which Truth can be shared. i.S.E.C. continues under a national foundation and Ann serves as Stateside coordinator.
Ann loves to explore, welcomes the not-yet-tried, embraces variety as the spice of life, and thinks that is the best place for spice—not in her food! She loves people, quietness and lovable animals.
