Mary was born and raised in upstate New York. She met her husband, Tim, in Chicago and has been blessed with four daughters and seven grandkids! Tim and Mary have been in various forms of ministry and both of them love learning about and being in the middle of different cultures. What excites Mary the most is when she can help others learn to savor Christ more than she does. Then help that person see their self worth in Jesus, help them to see the gifts He has given them and then encourage them to grow and use those gifts to make much of Jesus. The mission of The Cracked Pot does just that with those in the program!
