Ann Hibbard

Ann Hibbard is a naturally timid woman who has seen the boldness of God take her to incredible places. She has served alongside her husband through nearly thirteen years of ministry as he has served as support staff and pastor of various churches. She has a passion for teaching young women and has recently discovered the delight of ministering to and encouraging other ministry wives. A second generation homeschooler, she began homeschooling her own three children five years ago when her oldest began kindergarten.

An amateur writer, Ann finds delight and release through writing about the many ways God shows Himself through both His Word and the beauties of daily life. Read her blog at AnnHibbard.com

Jacob Lamont

Jacob Lamont is a designer, web-developer, photographer and aspiring filmmaker. He is passionate about visual beauty, camera lenses, drooling over the latest cameras, taking photographs, good stories, color, superb soundtracks, talking, family, friends, and proving that he’s a designer by loving coffee (not Starbucks). What gets him really excited, though, is 1) seeing how all of these interests tie in with the command to take dominion of the earth for Christ, and 2) finding our Creator's fingerprint at the root of everything good, beautiful and true – Christ is the first story-teller, programmer and designer.
