Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! when Scott McCausey talks with author and Boot Camp Graduate, Brenda Lancaster.

Brenda Lancaster is a wife, mother, grandmother, and beloved mentor intent on bringing hope, help and harmony to women’s hearts and homes. An acclaimed Bible teacher and the founder of Zookeepers Ministries (2002), Brenda is the author of Living in a Zoo? as well as a Bible study, A Portrait of Ruth (1999). She is currently working on a companion series of children’s books for Living in a Zoo? and a novel drawn from family experiences. A new arm of Zookeepers, entitled R.E.S.C.U.E., will begin soon. R.E.S.C.U.E. will reach out and minister to teenage girls struggling in the cultural quagmire of the 21st Century.

Brenda has been married to her high school sweetheart for over forty years. Her husband Tom, who serves as a deacon and works with the Upward Sports programs for their church, will be working alongside Brenda with R.E.S.C.U.E.T.O.O., a ministry to parents of wayward teens (a division of Zookeepers Ministries). They have three married sons and six grandchildren. Brenda says life never gets better than when she and Papa Tom head out to the beach with those six incredible kids and their Golden Retriever, Sandy. They make their home in Greensboro, NC.
