Mary Ann's personal testimony of faith: My Story
Home Church
Mary Ann and her family attend La Jolla Community Church (LJCC). This is where the Kingdom Presenters workshops began. Several members of the congregation had asked for ideas that would better prepare them to share their faith messages on behalf of either the church or an outreach program benefiting the community. The first session was held in May of 2008 and many more have followed from there.
She resides in San Diego with her husband Don and daughter Jordan.
