Development Officer

Our goal at Isaiah Forty is to help people unearth and integrate the fullness of life in Jesus Christ. It's always been our desire to help those we serve to "run and not grow weary" and "walk and not grow faint" (Isaiah 40:31).

We want this sustainability for our organization as well.

Our conviction that Isaiah Forty's services should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial resources, means that Isaiah Forty relies on the gracious commitments of our donors.

We're now at the stage where we want to devote a staff-person specifically to cultivating these donor relationships and to grow new ones.
