Gratitude
Kingdom Presenters would not be in existence today if it were not for the following people, to whom I am eternally grateful.
First and foremost, I am grateful to Jesus for redeeming me through His suffering on the cross so that my sins would be forgiven, redeeming me back to the Father and ensuring eternal life with Him. He deserves the credit for all that I do. Over the years He has gently been calling me to turn my passion for my profession into a ministry of serving those who are faithful.
Don and Jordan whose support, patience, and prayers have been a constant encouragement to me. I am grateful that God has given me a family that reminds me to keep the balance and the bigger picture in mind always.
Diane West of 2Connect and Jennifer Dryer-Patton of Tamayo Consulting, Inc. who have continued to employ me in providing presentation coaching for their clients. In working for them over the last 10 years I have been able to do what I love, work with great people and continue to hone my skills. It has also prepared me to answer my calling to equip people in giving God’s glory a voice.
Lisa Newmeyer for introducing me to Listening Prayer and inspiring me to create workshops for the faithful. She has helped me to practice listening prayer as a way to better connect with God’s heart and purposes for both myself and those I coach. She has taught me to always start by asking Jesus what he wants versus what I want for the situation, training or personal interaction.
La Jolla Community Church for their continued support of the Kingdom Presenters workshops. What started with an initial request for coaching from a member of our church grew into workshops that were attended by over 200+ people from our congregation and other ministries.
John Pape of Mediatunes for encouraging me to build a Kingdom Presenters web site. After attending a workshop he proactively went out and secured the site domain, built a template and began to educate me on social media. He stepped in when I was feeling short on capacity to get things going.
Tim Marusich for his constant encouragement of the Kingdom Presenters workshops. He has been instrumental in getting the word out, helping me to refine the web site content and thinking about taking this information beyond our home church.
My many friends and colleges who contributed to refining this body of work. A special thanks to Lisa Thomas, Ruth Varney -Tolly, Melissa Tritt-Durkin and Mary Rumsey.
