A HER-oe is a real
life role model. She might be a successful business woman,
a stay at home mom, a sister, a daughter, a grandmother, a
friend. Being a HER-oe requires living your faith out loud
and being a woman of God that all women can look up to and
emulate. Our gallery of HER-oes is dedicated to all those
women who walk in faith, love the Lord and never compromise what
they believe. Thank you to all of them for giving us a
true standard of measure! |

 Diane
Heavin
Co-founder of
Curves, with husband Gary. In the first issue of
the Curves magazine, "Diane" when asked by an interviewer about
the fact that she was "religious" she gave an incredible
statement of faith. Diane and Gary are strong supporters
of the American Family Association and the pro-life movement.
All Curves gyms have wonderful worship work out music available.
Diane puts the message of her faith before any fears of business
repercussions because of her walk with Christ.
Quote from
Diane in a
CBN interview: "We listen to God. We pray first, we
listen, and He gives us the answers—not all the time, not when
we want them necessarily. Then we’re obedient."

 Jennifer
Rothschild
Jennifer lost her sight at 15 and faced the
loss of her dreams of being an artist. Instead of turning inward
and giving up, she turned her attention outward and walked into
the arms of Christ. Jennifer is the founder of
Women's Ministry
Network, she's a prolific
writer
and an accomplished singer. In 2004 she joined the Women
of Faith speaker's team. Jennifer has made her life a
praise to God and she pours herself into the lives of women,
showing us how to live every moment for Him.
Quote from
Jennifer in
Today's Pentecostal Evagel: ""When
I received Christ, I was totally captivated. My natural response
as I walked through my teenage years was just abandonment toward
Him. I never sought to achieve anything like writing or singing.
They occurred as a result of my walk with Him.
The
ministry we receive is from God for us to become His hands. We
can’t take credit for it. I do believe in stewardship, though. I
believe God has trusted me with this position, and I want to
walk humbly and be a good steward of the opportunity. But I
don’t ever want to take ownership of what God has done".

women and show the world that you can be talented, beautiful and

Quotes from
the Barlow Girl website:
"In a world that constantly bombards us
with impurity and immodesty, we feel called to take a stand
against what the world is telling us is acceptable.
Especially
in the area of clothing and modesty." "We believe that God has
one perfect man already chosen for us; therefore we have no need
to worry ourselves in searching for him. When the time is right
we know God will bring us together. In the meantime we are not
hiding in a closet avoiding all males. We are still living our
lives, just without the pressure of having to have a boyfriend."

 Kathy
Collard Miller
A prolific writer, an inspired speaker and a
woman who not only lives her faith out loud but who is using her
past and God's work in her life to inspire, encourage and
enlighten the lives of other women. As Kathy presses into
the arms of God she opens her life and her heart. She is a
HER-oe in every sense of the word. A woman to be admired,
a woman to inspire, a woman to serve as a role model for all of
us.
Quote from
Kathy's website:
"As long as we are
on this earth, we will always struggle with surrendering
something to God. Instead of focusing on having a sinless life,
we should focus on growing spiritually. We’ll never be perfect,
but we can learn, mature, and become more like Christ."

 Pennie
Priest
Pennie Priest's joy in the Lord shines through in her smile.
The hope and the light of her smile is what drew her husband
Chris to Christ He describes it as the "little seed"
that sparked his wanting to know the Lord. Pennie became a
Christian at a Florida Baptist
summer camp for deaf and hearing impaired persons in 1987, and
since that time she has spent her life communicating the Gospel
through her testimony of salvation. What a lesson for us
all when we fear to speak the truth of Christ to others.
God can bring someone to Him through a smile!
A quote from Pennie in an article in the
Florida Baptist Witness: "I
tell them ‘I have Jesus in my heart.’ I always know that Jesus
is right here beside me, even though I can’t see him, I know
he’s there. He never leaves me and that’s why I’m so happy.”
