Bill Johnson, Operations Coordinator

Bill JohnsonIn Bill's own words…

How does your work at Lumunos allow you to shine your light?

One of the things that brings me great joy is to help others shine in what they do. Much of my work is "behind the scenes" where I can support, encourage, facilitate the work of others... whether it's my work on the web, development, magazine, publicity, mailings, etc. When others are in a position and equipped to live out their call and I can assist them; it brings great joy.

In what ways do you contribute to Lumunos?

I'm able to give time, energy, and resources to our efforts in fulfilling our mission.

What's your favorite part of your job?

Helping to make things happen!

What past job has most prepared you for your work at Lumunos?

There are so many things that have helped shape me and prepare me for my work at Lumunos. Right out of college I chose to work for the Southern Baptist Convention as a Missionary Journeyman for 2 years in the country of Botswana. Being able to live in another culture, in another country, and learn to thrive was life-changing.

How do you live your call in the world?

My call is to be an enabler. My heart sings the strongest when I'm able to help others to do and/or to be their best.

When you are not working, what one thing lights up your world?

Music! I enjoy singing, playing guitar and supporting my 2 daughters in their musical endeavors.
