Bonnie’s passion for the Word of God and seeing lives changed through the truths of its pages defines her approach to ministry and beyond. She has a passion to see people give their lives to Jesus Christ and experience His redemptive love.
In her own words, “With every assignment, I am grateful that I can be a part of spreading the good news of Jesus. As the Executive Director at Toledo Gospel Rescue Mission, it is my desire that the GOSPEL would be our focus in all that we do. That through the ministry of shelter to the homeless and food to the hungry, that those we minister to would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ in their lives. Our mission is His mission, to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” Mark 16:15. May The Lord ever sustain us and direct us as we walk boldly into this new season.
Lift High the Name of JESUS!”
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;”
Matthew 5:14
