My calling is to empower people worldwide to be all God created them to be. This starts with my five children and my husband of over 30 years. I am a visionary, a church planter, Pastors wife, speaker, and Entrepreneur. Whether it is ministering to the hurting, starting Trades of Hope, helping marriages and families through MikeandHollylife.com, or owning a local ICe Cream parlor, my passion is helping people live with passion and purpose. Trades of Hope helps women in desperate places by selling their beautiful, fair trade, ethically produced products through the party plan model. This creates a dignified partnership allowing women to break the cycle of poverty and leave the sex industry, slums and sweatshops and become the hero of their own story. From the heartbreaking slums of Haiti to the brothels of Asia I've traveled many places and seen poverty's devastating effects. I've listened to stories of young victims trapped in the sex industry, heard the grumble pains of hungry bellies, and seen distraught mothers drop off their own children at orphanages because they had no way of providing for them. In the midst of these poverty-stricken communities, we've brought hope and a solution to end the cycle of poverty.
