As Vision Advocate for pureHOPE, Noel is a “voice for the vision” of a world free of sexual exploitation and brokenness. As a writer and speaker, he communicates pureHOPE’s life-giving message to audiences across the country, and works with the pureHOPE team to form strategic and collaborative partnerships globally to advance the life-changing reality that everyone who hopes in Jesus purifies him or herself, just as He is pure (1 John 3:3).

Prior to joining PureHope in 2008, he was a litigation attorney and worked in law firms in New York, Washington, DC, and Cincinnati. He received his law degree with honors from The University of Texas School of Law, and his undergraduate degree from South Dakota State University, where he quarterbacked the football team.

Noel lives in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area with his high-school sweetheart, Dr. Vanessa Bouché, and their two daughters. You can find him poolside with his family, musing in an armchair over some obscure piece of literary brilliance, or in the kitchen perfecting his hummus recipe. Noel has a hospitable heart and is generous with his prayers and encouragement of others.

As Chief Development Officer, Sue oversees strategic fundraising and development for the Hope Center and the nonprofit parent organization, The Hope Center Foundation. Sue’s motivation is providing beautiful high-quality office and conference space, numerous services, programs and amenities, all at a significantly discounted rate for the Christian nonprofit tenants. The funds that these nonprofits are able to save in overhead transfer directly into their missions — both locally and around the world. “The Hope Center is a great place to invest your time and talent and I am honored to work with The Hope Center team and the 40+ dynamic Christian Nonprofits that call this home.”

Sue is also a committed volunteer fundraiser in her community and has served on numerous nonprofit boards. Prior to joining The Hope Center team, Sue was Director of Program Development for Just Say YES, Youth Equipped to Succeed helping at risk teens. She also spent 12 years as Director of Development at Trinity Christian Academy where she completed three capital campaigns and raised funds for scholarship aid.

She and her husband, Dan, have two grown children and three grandchildren, and have been active members and lay leaders at Northwest Bible Church since graduating from college.
