Susan McAllister became a Christian more than 33 years ago and has helped build and strengthen churches in Southern California, in England and in her home state of Colorado, where she now resides. She cherishes her two sons, Jonathan and David, and is a grateful wife to her husband, Bruce. She strives to keep the priorities she taught her children: Love God and love people. She appreciates a good laugh, almost any sport and a creative play. She relishes spending time in the outdoors, which is evident in one of her favorite scriptures: “I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2
