Jan Ross and her husband of 40+ years live in Willard Ohio; they have six adult children and thirteen incredible grandchildren. In an answer to God's call, Jan is president of Heart of God International Ministries (www.heartofgodinternational.org) through which she has had the incredibly unique opportunity to travel as a missionary, sharing the message of Jesus Christ in remote tribal villages where the name of Jesus had never been heard. As a published author, public speaker, and Bible teacher, Jan's passion to encourage and build up the Body of Christ becomes obvious while she uses her life experiences as a wife, mother, grandmother, missionary, and adoptee to touch the hearts of ordinary women with the love, acceptance, and approval of an extraordinary God. The Word of God has captured her heart, and it is obvious in her writing and teaching. As a writer, the Word is the foundation of each story, poem, devotion, or article. As a speaker, the Word is wrapped around every word she ministers. You could say the Word of God is the joy of her life while writing and teaching brings great satisfaction to her heart as she works relentlessly to fulfill the Great Commission.
