Joan Hutter, founding director of Women Abide, loves the Lord and lives to carry His love and glory from the secret place to the harvest fields, to family, neighbors, and nations. Her passion is to see Jesus adored and people set free, healed, abiding in the love of the Lord, filled with His Spirit, carrying his Presence, equipped for His works, and living out the destiny God has burned into their hearts. Joan loves to ignite, inspire, and encourage hearts toward intimacy with Jesus, loving God with all our heart, loving people, and uplifting the needy. She and her husband Chauncey live in Charlottesville, VA. They deeply enjoy their adult children and grandchildren. Glory to God.
