Strickland, Joeth: - "Joeth Strickland is a small-town gal who found her international vision even before she could read. Disabilities slowed her early schooling and threatened to prevent her from ever bearing children, but overcoming these by God's power just fueled her resilience. She persevered even after an 18-wheeler crushed her legs!Starting with just a few boxes shipped to missionaries, the Crossing All Borders Ministry she founded has grown to support missionaries in 104 countries, including those serving the battlefront in Ukraine and those seeking to serve in underequipped medical missions in Haiti.Joeth's story shows how God makes everything work for the good of those who love HIm and are called according to His purpose. Childhood work in her dad's dental office, a job as a drafter in a dental supply firm, experience of different congregations - even her years of treatment for accident injuries - provided the vision and the skills that have allowed her to draw together in God's service hundreds of people across all borders of denomination, race, national origin and social class.Joeth grew up in a family committed to Christ and to each other. She learned to serve beside her parents in local charities, churches and Christian schools, and in support of God's global work. She and her late husband, Ashley, began their marriage committed to serve God together and each nurtured the other in their faith-driven activities. Together, they had three children, and Joeth enjoys her time with their children and grandchildren.This inspirational vision of a woman empowered by God will encourage you whenever you face obstacles in your faith journey."
