NAN PAYNE:
Eight years ago Nan realized the importance of “stepping out of the boat” and grounding herself in a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Since then, Nan has made a personal commitment to grow in God’s Word daily. Her passion is to teach and work with others to help them “step out of their boats” as they draw closer to God. She created Wooden Boat Ministries with the vision of helping others see their love for God overflow their lives and infuse their passions. God placed the idea of “unity” and “strength in numbers” on Nan’s heart and the vision of establishing an environment where once a month women can come together to encourage and love on each other was launched in the ministry of GNO (Girl’s Night Out). Nan loves working and helping others on their journey to know Him better. Nan has been a member of Northwest Bible Church, Hilliard, Ohio since 2001.

SANDRA ADKINS (SANDY):
After accepting Christ into her heart at a young age, Sandy has grown and matured in Christ and been open to his leading for her life. Her willingness to be obedient and follow his leading has allowed her to serve in a myriad of leadership positions. From mission fields, to sitting on boards and committees, chairing woman’s organizations and filling elected positions, Sandy has followed God on His great adventure for her. GNO is one more opportunity God has given her to work cooperatively with others in an effort to bring encouragement to those around us.
ANDREA KLINGLE:
Shortly after college God completely rocked Andrea's world, showing her that He is a God that can be trusted, and He is a loving God. Since committing her life to Jesus Christ, He has stirred her heart to help others see that love, His grace and how He cares for their lives. After spending some time on the mission field God showed her that her life is the mission field. Andrea joins Nan in the vision of seeing God move in the lives of others and to see Him use them to spread the gospel. Andrea is a member of Northwest Bible Church in Hilliard, OH.
SANDY MAXWELL:
As a young girl attending church with her parents, Sandy started her walk with God. As she grew older there were some "bumps" in the road. Her Dad became a very strong part of her growth by sharing his knowledge and love of God with her. As she continued to grow in her faith and love of God. she became more active in her church and Bible studies to further her knowledge of God's word. Sandy has been going to Northwest Bible Church for about 15 years. GNO is one more way in which Sandy can serve God while she is helping others in their growth.
