Inspirational Leader, Prayer Minister, and Natural Born Teacher
Judy has a passion for helping the
hurting and lost through prayer. She founded
Nephros Ministries in 2010, providing prayer support to a wide range of individuals, including professionals and those struggling with addictions, sex trafficking, and being orphaned.
Judy's background as a homeschool mom, high school teacher, and adjunct professor at Bethel University has equipped her with the ability to connect with people from different walks of life.
With her husband Daryl, Judy founded
Affirming You in 2015. This nonprofit created Christian birthday cards to speak hope and identity to the downhearted and hopeless. Currently, a committed team sends over 5,000 cards to inmates a year.
Passionate Prayer Warrior, Encourager, Growing In Faith
Daryl has grown in his faith and teaching abilities overcoming his natural tendency to be an introvert. He has served as an
adult Sunday school teacher, delivered kid's sermons, and participated in various activities
with his children. Daryl worked as a senior systems computer analyst and is now the bookkeeper for Nephoros Ministries, Affirming You, and Restoring The Ruins.
Daryl is passionate about prayer and
encourages faith to grow in other men
through a weekly men's study.
Drawing from his experiences as a husband, father, and intercessor, Daryl has joined Judy to speak on a growing number
of topics that include prodigals and rebuilding broken relationships.
Engaging Speakers, Drawing From
Life's Experiences
Both Judy and Daryl are trained in
Bethel Sozo prayer and have used their skills to bring healing locally and overseas. Daryl also nursed Judy back to health after her bicycle accident in 2020.
Prior to the accident, Judy was an
experienced educator, communicating
effectively to diverse audiences. She used her personal life experiences to inspire and share scientific knowledge to explain biblical truths.
Judy has spoken at various events and
platforms, including conferences, retreats, seminars, radio, and social media.
Married since 1982, Judy and Daryl have raised five successful children
who live in Minneapolis, Seattle, and India. Their family has grown to include four beautiful
daughter-in-loves and one son-in-love. Daryl and Judy love it when they have time to connect with them. They now have two grandchildren they enjoy when time allows.
Daryl and Judy enjoy adventures which include:
hiking, kayaking, bird watching, and traveling in the States and abroad to foreign countries.
