9615 181st Ave E, Bonney Lake, WA 98391 P: 253.261.1715 E: [email protected] JEAN MILLIKEN March 2015 To Whom It May Concern, My gifts, strengths, and experience will validate that I enjoy building a ministry vision and mission. I bring leadership, team building, teaching, strategic thinking, development, training, and a proven track record to a ministry setting. It is a privilege to recruit and build into people, so that they in turn can build and develop others in their sphere of influence. My life has been transformed by the unmerited grace of Jesus Christ. To Him and His Higher purposes, I have dedicated my life. If I can be an asset to the vision, mission, and community God has called you to, I would love to have a conversation with you on how we can work together to fulfill the Everyday Great Commandment (Love God – Love People, Matt. 25) and the Everyday Great Commission (Matt. 28) in the greater Seattle area.
