Joanne McCulley, wife of GCI Pastor Mark McCulley (Denver, Colorado), recently was sworn in as a court-appointed Special Advocate. She will be working with the CASA organization in two Denver-area counties. CASA is a nation-wide organization serving the county juvenile court system.
Joanne has worked with young people for many years, including teen ministry in several GCI congregations and camps. Her passion has always been to care for those hurt by family weakness and dysfunction. As a CASA volunteer, Joanne will be assigned a single case, a child or several siblings from a family in crisis with the goal of helping stabilize and reunite the family. Her work will include meeting with the assigned children regularly with authorization to interview people in the child’s life such as social workers, attorneys, and teachers. She will also attend court hearings with the child and report her findings to the judge.
Joanna is in the middle, back row.
Wonderful!! Excited for this new endeavor – you’re a fantastic advocate and will be an incredible encouragement and blessing to all you meet!
Hi Joanne,
Great news! May the Lord bless your appointment to His glory and grant you the gifts necessary to overcome all future challenges.
Blessings,
Santiago and Elke
Congrats, Joanne! Seems like a perfect fit. A wonderful opportunity for kingdom work and ministry.
Joanne, We’ll need to talk at church. Through my work with Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services I became aware of being a CASA Advocate and had put it on my “to-do list” to look into the organization once we got settled here in Denver.
Congratulations!
Love & Prayers,
Paul & Leigh Sniffen
JoJo, I’m so proud of you!’
I don’t know you , JoJo, if I may, but I’m sure the Holy Spirit does!! Regards, Ernie.
