At the 2014 Global Leadership Summit, Janine heard a tough call from God that challenged her in ways that stretched her faith. She said yes to God and He continues to work in amazing ways through her life:

Before attending the Summit, I didn’t really have a vision for what the Lord wanted to do through me. I first attended the event because our local church hosted a private viewing and they invited all of the church leadership. The Summit has helped me overcome the obstacle of believing that I didn’t have anything to offer the world, but rather was meant to be a servant all my life.

At the end of the event, our Pastor asked each of us to stand and ask the Lord what He wanted us to take away from what we had heard. I did as asked, and while praying, God said “Quit your Job.” This floored me, so I spent some time in prayer over it, and when the thought wouldn’t go away, I asked my pastors if I could meet with them and pray about it.

As we prayed over this together, God told me he wanted me to start a non-profit organization to help small ministries with their finances. Well, I did quit my job and God has miraculously provided for me and my family while I have been starting this non-profit. It has taken almost a year and The Summit 2015 is rolling around, but I can say with God’s grace and direction Hope Reborn Consulting, Inc. is up and running.

God used the Summit to propel me forward and believe that I could do what He asked me to do. It gave me the vision to become the leader He knew I could be.

It has been a wild ride of listening to the Lord and stepping into the calling He has been preparing me for over the last decade. That calling is helping other ministries with their financial management and organization.

God will provide if He asks you to do something! If it gets hard, don’t give up; just keep on working toward what God has given you and He will see it to fruition.
