About Jan

A Life Influenced by the Word of God


Okay, so you're never too old to have fun, at least according to Jan! She loves a challenge. She's competitive (probably to a fault). She loves deeply. Her servant heart reaches far beyond her small-town boundaries. An international traveler, missionary, preacher, teacher and pastor. She loves the lepers in India as much as she loves the pastors and her friends, Pastor Prabhakar and Sumathi and their kids. And, it goes without mention that she loves her six children, thirteen grandchildren, and the growing number of great-grandchildren! Her life is full even though she seems to be slowing down after some health challenges. She gives glory to God for every opportunity, lesson learned, and victories won!

Jan's website is filled with stories that have led to where she is today. You're invited to learn more about how God has protected and led her through life, making unique connections, putting her in undeserved positions, and using her when she felt so incredibly unworthy. Some would call it miraculous but, to be truthful, Jan reminds us that God Himself sovereignly, and often mysteriously, leads His people to accomplish a goal He has in mind. We don't always understand. It can be difficult to comprehend. And, it can be very humbling when we know we don't deserve anything, let alone His loving and very personal care and protection. He'll never let us down!

Jan shares fresh and pertinent Biblical truth in her easy-to-read writing style. She offers insight from personal study and life experiences encouraging readers to live loyally and faithfully for King Jesus.
