Dear Pastor,
I have known Julie and her husband, Greg, for several years, and, during the time they lived here in Louisville, had the privilege of serving as their pastor. Both Julie and Greg were not only active participants in our church, but also became very dear friends.
For the last few years at our church, Julie led our Women’s Ministry. She is a woman who takes ministry very seriously and whose work is characterized by excellence. Under her leadership, 1 Corinthians 12 was lived out through our women as they came from different parts of our body and united under one purpose. We saw women saved, marriages healed, and lives changed.
Julie’s passion for binding up the broken-hearted and empowering & equipping women for ministry shines through everything she does. Whether she’s sitting and visiting in a coffee shop, running into someone while out shopping, or speaking at a conference, she is a constant source of encouragement. She is both transparent and bold in sharing the message of how she’s learned to walk in the freedom of knowing who she is in Christ. Your congregation will find themselves both captivated and motivated as they listen to her stories and wisdom. Her message is one centered on Jesus and His finished work on the cross and filled with hope and practical “how to’s” for stepping out into all God has for you.
As a fellow pastor, I highly recommend Julie and His Love Extended ministry to you and your church. Because of Julie’s obedience to share God’s truths and her faithfulness to His Word, I believe many lives will be touched and forever changed through this ministry.
Under the Mercy,
Timothy Parish
