“My passion is in finding new ways to communicate our message and our unique approach to ministries nationwide. I love how author Seth Godin defines marketing, “Marketing is not a war or a battle. It’s a generous act of helping people solve a problem. Their problem. It’s a chance to change culture for the better. It involves very little in the way of shouting, hustling or coercion. It’s a chance to serve”.
