Jim and Josie

Jim and Josie

In 2003, the Lord led Josie and Jim to Jacksonville, Florida, where she became preschool director at Trinity Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor Tom Messer. After serving for seven years, the Lord impressed on her to resign her position and write and develop a mom’s manual to be used as an outreach tool for churches.

As a Christian, Josie loves to build relationships with moms and strives to help meet their needs and reach them for Christ. Her passion for souls and desire to help moms in their roles as wife and mom are what has motivated Josie to develop this manual. For more information on the It’s 4uMom manual Click Here.
