Tina Parker: Loving Loud Leader.
One of Tina’s favorite themes is the “less desirable qualities” found in children can be molded into their finest attributes when nurtured by loving parents in a Christian home. This is certanly true of Tina; growing up with the “less than desirable quality” of being loud and talkative. As an adult growing in the Lord, the greatest compliment she has ever received is that she “loves people loud.” This has been one of the driving forces in forming Imago Dei Ministries. Tina enjoys being her husband, Bryan’s, number one fan, mothering their three children and making herself available to God. She has an overwhelming love for any type of athletic endevour. Her biggest accomplishments have been running marathons,competing in triathalons and adventure racing. Several years ago a friend spoke Romans 10:14-15 over Tina’s life.“How then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the the one whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone teaching them? And how can they preach if they are not sent? As it is written, how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.” Tina has determined this to be her life verse as she walks out the places God has called her to. She continues to seek His best for her life and Imago Dei Ministries with a wonderful mix of exuberance and humility. Tina’s obedience to walk out God’s vision for Imago Dei ministries and her heart for women to have revelation knowledge of their true images are the threads that bind together all the facets of Imago Dei ministries.
