  • "Jo's authenticity, creativity, energy, and skills have served her well in all of the ministry positions she has held. In addition to being a consumate professional she is a loyal friend who knows when sharing laughter or tears are needed. She has the ability to be fully attentive to the task at hand whether that is preparing for worship, creating a new resource for others to use, teaching and leading, or being present for someone with a particular need. At the same time she is always attuned to whatever the next step needs to be personally and professionally."

    —The Rev. Dr. Debbie Kirk, Advocacy Ambassador for Habitat for Humanity, Raleigh, NC
