I must say that I am very excited to be in this season of life and for the opportunity to serve the body of Christ as a Christian Conciliator.  As an attorney by trade, with over 30 years of litigation practice, I am no stranger to the pain and consequences resulting from unresolved conflicts in the hearts of men and women. Imagine my delight when I discovered that there was a process where true transformative peacemaking, healing, and encouragement could be found through the realities of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Unlike the court system, which can only address substantive issues, this process addresses the hearts and relational dynamics that are crucial to navigating the difficulties of life.

I have been working with Conflict to Peace for the last 3 years in Christian Conciliation. Along with providing conciliation services, I currently serve as the Outreach and Development Coordinator while I complete my formal certification with the Institute for Christian Conciliation.

I have always had a heart’s desire to study and rightly divine the word of God- a true gift of God.  This gifting, along with my own personal difficulties, conflicts and heartaches, has compelled me to study even more and force this issue of “Love.”

For years I have been able to serve by coaching, discipling, and facilitating Bible studies in women’s ministry.  Working out my own salvation with what the Good Lord has worked in “with” my brothers and sisters in the Lord has been a true source of joy and blessing to me, and has only served to confirm the reality of Christ in us – the Hope of Glory.

I am eager to learn more about His ways of peacemaking and knowing Him as the Prince of Peace.  I strive to allow His promptings and leadings in biblical peacemaking so that I can be His vessel. As His vessel, I can walk and encourage His children in their personal relationship with GOD, the realities of being a new creation in Him, and learning to truly love others the way Christ loves us.  I am also excited to see how the Lord will meet us in the midst of these conflicts and how He may call the hearts presented to respond to Him. I am passionate about incorporating true biblical principles and using prayer in this process. I know the Spirit is at work and “is” the saving power- the grace needed for true transformation and heart healing. It would be a true privilege to serve you and the  Body of Christ in this way. Through the realities of Christ’s victory on the cross, I know the Good Lord desires to heal, give us peace, and unite His children.

Grace filled communication is the key to resolution and peace. Our experienced conciliators provide that key.
