Raised in a Christian family, Judy was one of five children and now she and her husband, Dave, have five children of their own. Judy met Christ as a young child and rejoices in God's mercy that all five of their children, Joanna, Josh, Hope, Laurel, and Micah, know the Lord and are active in their local churches today. Additional blessings include five amazing grandchildren! Judy and Dave met while attending the University of California at Riverside in the 60's. Judy spent the years prior to their marriage studying under Tim LaHaye, Howard Hendricks and Hal Lindsey as well as various seminary professors at the Institute of Biblical Studies through Campus Crusade for Christ. She served as a staff member of Campus Crusade for Christ from 1969-1971. After marrying her sweetheart, Dave, in July of 1971, she went on to be a member of the board of Directors for Child Evangelism Fellowship and serve as a director for AWANA for eight years. Judy has been a Gideon auxiliary member since 1980. As a young woman, the Lord showed Judy that if she would seek God in His Word, that He would do AMAZING things in her life. She says, "If we will scour His Word and ask for those 'Ancient Paths' we will find the good way. When we obey the Lord, we'll find the rest, joy and abundant life that He promised. The Bible is supernatural! It's ALIVE!" As Judy intently studied Scripture, she began writing Bible studies including topics such as: Learning Contentment, Facing Adversity, Discerning the Times, Digging Into God's Word, Prayer and Spiritual Warfare, Romans, Old Testament Survey, and many more. She has taught Bible studies since 1970 and has been involved as a Mentor Mom for M.O.P.S. (Mothers of Pre-Schoolers). Loving motherhood and all of the opportunities to meet Christ through the joy and labor of mothering is evidenced by Judy's past involvement as a phone counselor with Life Centers, a crisis pregnancy center. Her passion for what God says to women for application in every aspect of their lives has invited numerous opportunities for speaking to women at retreats on a wide variety of topics. Judy and Dave are concerned that the hearts of God's people are growing stale and cold due to a lack of knowledge of God's Word (Amos 8:11). They believe God's people are enduring a self-induced famine, while God says that we can be feasting at the table of His bountiful blessing. "This generation of people is wandering, looking for direction - they are lost. The saddest part of all is that people today don't even realize how malnourished they are - yet they're dying." Together Dave and Judy are invited regularly to speak as a team to couples at marriage retreats and they direct an Adult Bible Fellowship group, the Bereans, comprised of young families at their home church, Evangelical Free Church of Camarillo.
