New National Love INC Heads

Nancy VanDyken, Executive Director of Gallatin County Love INC, has been selected as one of three people to co-lead the national Love INC organization.  She is serving in this position along with two other individuals as Co-Directors of the national Love INC movement.  She will continue to serve, also, as the Executive Director of our local Love INC here in Bozeman.

To lead the national organization, instead of one person as CEO, Love INC decided to put in place a three-person top Executive Team, each with a primary focus.  Nancy will be responsible for new affiliate development -- bringing Love INC's to reality from conception to actual operation in communities around the county, and, as God provides, internationally.

As part of her responsibility, Nancy will travel to Nairobi on Sept. 22-Oct. 9 to provide equipping and training for five affiliates that are forming there, involving many churches and denominations.  Once trained, these affiliates will run themselves as their own grassroots organizations, without external monetary or personnel involvement.

As many of you are aware, the National Love INC headquarters and organization has undergone a complete restructuring.  As a result, new people were hired to provide leadership.  Nancy was hired in mid-June and intends to focus a portion of her efforts on forming Love INCs in other Montana communities.  Please keep her in your prayers, and contact her if you have any friends or contacts in other Montana communities that may be interested in starting a Love INC in their area. 

Pray for Livingston!  The initial work has begun to form a Love INC there.
