Glenda Pyzer<br />

Glenda lives with her husband, Russ, in a small Northern<br />

California town named Hidden Valley Lake. She has a large,<br />

blended family, which she adores and is very grateful to<br />

love. When she married her first husband, he had two very<br />

small children, Jeremy (36) and Shawndre (33), which she<br />

immediately loved and raised as her own. During this marriage<br />

she had three more beautiful children, Sean (26), Ryan (22)<br />

and Kaitie (19). When she married her current husband, he had<br />

a grown son, Mike (46), which she also has a deep love and<br />

respect for. After a few years of marriage, they decided to do<br />

foster care and have adopted two half sisters out of the system:<br />

Annabel (13) and Breanna (10). We are all one big family<br />

with a lot of love for each other! Glenda has been a Special<br />

Education Teacher for 26 years and is currently teaching at a<br />

Continuation High School. She has always had a very special<br />

passion for children and adults with special needs.<br />

Jessica Sowards<br />

My name is Jessica Sowards, and I wear a lot of hats.<br />

My husband, our five sons and I live on a small farm<br />

in Central Arkansas. A few years ago, on a random<br />

Monday afternoon, we prayed a prayer asking God<br />

to help us run after Him radically. I had no idea<br />

then what I was asking for, but now my entire life is<br />

engulfed in revival fire. He is faithful and I am forever<br />

grateful to live a life of worship.<br />
