Heart Felt Investments

By Kerry Phibbs

April 2012 began Brenda Wallace’s tenth year on the Mount Hermon staff. Brenda started as a registrar, but it was soon evident her skills fit perfectly as Registration Manager. We are consistently blessed by Brenda’s heart for people and for this ministry. She and her staff are the “face of Mount Hermon,” when guests call and as they arrive for their time in the Redwoods. Her care for her registration team keeps them all at their best.

Brenda shared with us,

“I chose to join our Associate family wanting to invest even more deeply in the lives of the people who come onto these grounds. The Lord had recently impressed me in certain ways that influenced my decision.

 First, I’m gratified when people say, “You sound like you really love your job,” and I can authentically reply, “Yes, I really do.” One example is a woman I met on a plane, who’d never heard of Mount Hermon. Five months later she blew me away by attending a retreat as a result of our conversation!

 The Lord also impressed on me the effect Mount Hermon has had on my parents, siblings, nieces and nephews. Whether the kids come for a youth camp or we just hang out on the grounds, Mount Hermon brings us closer together. They never knew of Mount Hermon before I came here, so this is a new generation now introduced to this wonderful place.”

Like many of you, Brenda chose to invest where her heart is—in this ministry. If you’d like to know more about becoming a Mount Hermon Associate, call 831.430.1237, or reach us on the web at mounthermon.org/give.
