Joni Wallman
Director of Member Care and Women's Ministries
Tell
us about yourself:
I
get a kick out of simply being God's kid and marvel in His unconditional Love and purposes for me. I am also the "luckiest" wife and mom on this
planet and can't thank the Lord enough for lavishing me with such tender love
and kindness through my beautiful family and
friends! Reading, writing, laughter, travel, exploring nature, Sudoku,
Mexican Train Dominos and sharing a meal with loved ones are a few of my favorite things.
What
do you do as Director of Member Care and Women's Ministries?
I give oversight to the 1a) Member
Care of our church family in coordination with NCPC staff, leadership and
church members via visitation, prayer, counsel, meals, and transportation 1b)
Assimilation of our church family
into small group ministries that build community and develop personal faith,
spiritual gifting & service to others 2) Women's Ministries which
offers Bible study fellowship groups, leadership development/involvement,
service and special outreach events such as our Friendship Dinners and Fall
Retreat.
What
is the best part of your job?
I
am a "His-story junkie" and thrill to see how God is supernaturally
weaving His Divine Purposes into people's lives. I especially enjoy
helping others grow in Christ's Love, Joy, Truth and unique "calling"
through Bible-based teaching, fellowship, prayer and counsel.
