More about Michelle:
Michelle hopes to never lose the wonder of being saved by grace! She is passionate about growing in her relationship with the Lord and sharing the love of Jesus with those around her. Michelle is CAFO’s Director of Development & Discipleship – her dream job! She is a cheerful giver herself who believes development is ministry. She loves collaborating and learning together with other ministry/nonprofit professionals. During her 20+ years in development and leadership roles, a common thread has been serving vulnerable children and families. She believes deeply in the value of every person made in God’s image and the importance of nurturing families to create healthy individuals and communities. In addition to her nonprofit experience, Michelle spent some time in politics and public policy including working for a US Senator and business and pro-growth economic advocacy organizations. She is an Arizona native and a University of Arizona wildcat (bear down!). Her favorite role is being Aunt Michelle to many nieces, nephews and second cousins. She is also a former foster mom of one very special boy. Michelle has served in church children’s ministry for many years, and also engaged in disability ministry.

More about Anna:
Anna first felt called to ministry at just age 5, not having any idea what that meant! After a college mission trip to West Africa, Anna came back home with a passion for serving vulnerable children and families and inviting others to do the same.
Anna has spent the last ten years working in international missions and local rescue mission fundraising. She loves connecting people with where God is calling them to give their time, prayers, and resources.
At home in a suburb of Cincinnati, Anna lives with her husband (and all-around better half) Chris and daughter Eliza, who is 3 going on 16. You’ll most likely catch her dreaming up her family’s next adventure, inviting way too many people over for dinner, or trying (and failing) a new recipe.
