"But now I will heal and mend them. I will make them whole and bless them with an abundance of peace and security.”
Jeremiah 33:6
Who We Are
It seems that we have our lives figured out, and for twenty-five plus years I did while practicing as a registered nurse. God then unsettled me, leading me to step away from the career I love and begin taking first steps down the path towards vocational ministry. I received my theological formation at Western Theological Seminary; graduated and ordained in 2014. I served as Director of Outreach & Service followed by Congregational Care Pastor in two separate congregations, respectively in NW Iowa before God led me to begin serving women & children survivors of domestic violence.
In June, 2018 Whispers of Love, Hope & Joy became awarded non profit status. We are passionate about forming unique partnerships with businesses, faith communities and any private individuals.

We visited Seattle, Washington to educate ourselves on transitional housing. Our big audacious vision is to provide affordable housing that promotes a healing environment that equips & empowers survivors to live independent flourishing lives free of violence.

Winterizing vehicles
The winterizing vehicles event day provides an opportunity for women and children to begin to build relationships together as they enjoy refreshments & fellowship while their vehicle is checked over in preparation for winter.
Making a Difference
Care Bundles
Each survivor is given a care bundle at our first visit. This bundle provides many necessities that may have been left behind because of the need to leave their home immediately.
Making a Difference
Crime Victims Day on the Hill
Marsy's Law proposes amending Iowa's state constitution to preserve rights for victims. It asserts doing this by giving survivors the same constitutional protection as the offender. We were able to attend Crime Victims Day on the Hill. Survivors were able to meet with Legislators and officials and make their voices heard.
