We are Janice and Art,

We were high school sweethearts and will be married 50 years in 2025. We have left home, children and grandchildren to follow the LORD, wherever He sends us. Since 2015, we have been serving Him in the Lake Nona area of Orlando.

We have shared many adventures over these almost 50 years, Gentle Shepherd 4011 is just the latest.

 

Note from Janice:

The LORD spoke to me about the wounds of the heart His dear daughter’s carry.

 

Be assured, He desires for us to be healed so we may move forward as His disciples, then discipling others.” He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3, NIV

 

It will be my greatest joy to sit, listen, and pray with you. I will not offer advice or counseling, nor will I judge you; desiring only to share life with you. I am also trained through Trauma Healing Institute to facilitate their “Healing the Wounds of Trauma” material. 

Greetings, my name is Becky.

I am a Mother of 4 and a Grandmother of 8, currently full-time nanny for the youngest  grandchild, who brings me much joy.

 

My heart is for women to find community where they are able to connect, share burdens, trials, temptations, and struggles without judgment.

 

One of my life experiences is going through a divorce after 38 years of marriage. I know there are many other women that have experienced the heartache of divorce. My desire is to help them find healing and wholeness after the death of a dream. For me, it was important to know that there was hope and a restored future through Christ and His empowering. In the 81/2 years since my divorce, I have found connecting with communities of women have helped me to heal and be in a safe place to be heard.

 

That is what I’m hoping you will find in Gentle Shepherd 4011.

Hi, my name is Dorcas.  I am blessed to be actively involved in our community. Guided by Jeremiah 29:11, " For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.," I am inspired to build connections and alliances that bring hope and positive change to our community.

​

In addition to my community work, my financial expertise extends to retirement planning, insurance, annuity products, and debt management. Since 2016, I have been a dedicated advocate for financial education and successful retirement outcomes. I aim to empower individuals, families, and especially women, aligning these efforts with Christian principles for financial success.

​

My priorities include spending quality time with family, active participation in my church community, capturing meaningful moments through photography, exploring new destinations through travel, and nurturing a healthy lifestyle in alignment with the Christian values that guide my journey.

Hi, my name is Barbara Charles, a certified personal trainer with 4+ years of professional experience. My fitness journey started in college, even though I’ve been active my whole life, the journey to do this on my own became challenging yet amazing at the same time.

 

My journey taught me Awareness, Action, Discipline, and Consistency. Most importantly God taught me that it starts with your Mindset. Before you can create the body that you want, you must first start with your Mindset. Having that WILL POWER to unlearn habits that do not serve you and learn the ones that will get you one step closer to your goal(s).

 

In life you must Heal yourself to become a Healer. You must first become a Student in order to become a Teacher and you must Train yourself in order to become a Trainer (Coach).

 

As a Coach, I’m here to guide you on your new journey to Self. Something that you would not regret, but that you will be thankful for.

 

“So, lets Be Bold, lets Be Brave, and lets look Bomb.”

 

Galatians 6:9: “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
