Julie grew up a missionary kid in Germany. Her parents were on staff with Cru during the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Romanian Revolution, and the opening of Eastern Europe to the Gospel. Her husband Mike and 4 daughters moved from CA to TX in 2005.

In 2007 the Lord gave Julie a vision to start a ministry in their neighborhood of Castle Hills, to get that neighborhood in the Word and on Mission. She began Bible studies for women and men, and took them on mission trips. It was a game changer for that community as they became a mobilized community who sought to know Jesus and move with Him.

In 2012, she climbed Kilimanjaro with 50 women from all over the world to bring funding and awareness to the issue of human trafficking.

She spent three years pouring her gifts and talents into Time to Revive and ReviveTX. One year ago, the President of East West Ministries recruited her to come and do development for them. It was during the interview process that she identified a tremendous need to pour into women donors and partners of East West. John Maisel, the founder of East West, had discipled and mobilized the men for 25 years, but there was a great need and desire to do the same for the women. She accepted that call and months later, the Lord gave the strategy, name, Scripture and vision for Arise.

Julie currently takes teams of women all over the world. She recently returned from the first all-women’s Extreme Team to the Himalayas, where they hiked through the remote parts of the mountain ranges to share the Gospel with people who had never heard the name of Jesus. It was life changing for the entire team of women, and they saw many give their lives to Jesus. She will be taking a team of women to EurAsia in June.

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.
