Sue has been back in the US after living in Nairobi, Kenya for 8 years and continues to stay connected with many friends and colleagues she has there. Having a desire to serve the poor, Sue has been fulfilled and energized as a result of working and living overseas and in different cultural contexts.

Her husband Doug pastored an international church in Nairobi where she served in several capacities. Sue is a self-employed bookkeeper by profession and has extensive administrative experience. Being in a developing country brought many opportunities to train and mentor others in these areas, as well as teaching discipleship groups and financial courses.
Sue is passionate about serving the community around her and finding ways to bring hope and encouragement to others, wherever they are found. While in Kenya, she worked closely with her husband in the development of VSM Africa, a theological education and leadership development school, serving as the Administrator and Comptroller. Sue also trained and mentored the Treasurer of her denomination in Kenya, as well as serving as bookkeeper in the local church. Missions has always been a focus, serving the Missions Coordinator for her denomination in CA for several years, and she is currently on another international board.

Doug and Sue live in So Cal near their four grown children and 12 grandchildren which bring great joy and fulfillment to their lives!
