In December 2018, Angela went from living life daily at 100 mph, working as a full-time Business Manager, to 0 mph, being home with a congestive heart failure diagnosis. Through this season of almost 2 years, Angela endured many physical, mental, and spiritual challenges, but thankfully, as of July, God allowed her the opportunity to join Captive Hearts’ team as our Office Manager. With 25+ years of management, bookkeeping, relational, and ministry experience, Angela believes she can be a positive influence and bring many assets to our organization. Continuing to pray that her heart grows stronger, along with the love and support of Bryan, her husband of 27 years, two children, and two grandsons, Angela is very excited to begin a new season and anxious to see how God is going to use her within Captive Hearts.
