Judy Yonkers

Judy has been with us at Living Word Church for 20 years. She has worked in almost every area of the ministry. She has worked in our children's department for eight years, nursery, toddlers and was over our 1st - 5th grader's for six years. She has impacted many children's lives. She has said 'those years of teaching our children, or 'God's soldiers with little feet' will always hold a special place in my heart". "Those years were years of preparation for me", she said 'they were never wasted years because I learned right along with the children." In 2000 God opened the door for her to assist Pastor and Mrs. Cross in administration. She has said, "Only God could have placed me there, to use my talents and abilities because He was the only one that knew I had a business administration degree". She runs our office, oversees our prayer ministry, hospitality, guest ministries, bookstore, and missions. She and her husband, Richard have been married for 35 years and are blessed with two incredible children.
