Jillana Goble is a speaker, author, and advocate. After nearly 20 years of fostering, together with her husband, Luke, she parents five children ranging in age from preteen to young adult. Jillana helped to found an unprecedented initiative that has turned into a statewide movement called Every Child Oregon where she currently leads a state-wide Foster Parent Peer Mentorship. She’s passionate about getting the faith community—as well as the community at large—to link arms with the state’s overburdened child welfare system to uplift vulnerable children in foster care and those who serve them. She is the author of A Love-Stretched Life. |
Jessica Satterfield has been wrecked by the love of a beautiful Father. She has known the intimacy of Papa God in the midst of the heartbreak of abuse, infertility, and child loss. Because she’s known Him in the fellowship of His sufferings, she’s also known Him in the power of His resurrection. She writes on her popular blog, Grace While We Wait, and is the author of, Partnering With Heaven, her first book. She is the President and Founder of a ministry called The Garden, which connects women on the broken road to motherhood to the Healer. Wife to her life-crush, Brandon, and mama to five (one who now lives with Jesus) through the miracle of adoption and miracles in her womb. Her days aren’t busy, but rather, full, the very best kind. You can find her curled up on the couch with good coffee and her family or speaking to groups of women all over the country. Both are amazing, but home is where her heart is.
