Meet Your Leaders!

We have an amazing group of ladies serving on our leadership team this year!  Couldn't have asked for a better team!

My Name is Heidi Gerard. I am the Coordinator for MOPS this year. I married my wonderful husband Blake in 2006 and we have two beautiful children, Mathew is 6 and Samantha is 5. This is my 4th year in MOPS now and I can honestly say it has been such a blessing to me as well as my children. My prayer for this year is for God to use us to reach as many moms as possible and show them that they are not alone.
 

"So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised". Hebrews 10:35-36 NLT

I have been married to the love of my life Ron for 13 years. We moved to Avant in 2011 and live at Shepherd’s Fold Ranch where Ron is the Executive Director. We enjoy living in the country…and the Oklahoma sunsets over the hill are the best I’ve ever seen! We have 4 beautiful children: Katie is 7, Patrick is 6, Emmitt is 3, and JJ was born January 2013! Our kids attend Hope Christian Academy in Skiatook and we attend two churches: Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Courtyard Church, both in Skiatook.  I love being in MOPS! It has been a great way to meet new women, have friends for my kids, and make great friends!"
