Helen knew at age 11 the gospel could change the world and it was birthed in her as a driving life force while on a mission trip into Moscow years later. God supernaturally prepared her as a speech pathologist and university instructor developing programs, writing curriculum, and building teams, as well as serving on church outreach teams for decades. During her first Global Ventures team trip in 2006, Helen felt God calling her to embrace the GV vision. That vision, training up front line harvesters to reach the unreached people groups of the world through their unique mass evangelism format became the catalyst for her being a part of declaring the gospel.
