Anne volunteers one day a week getting the details in order for teams to be able to travel and serve with ease. This includes things like plane tickets, visas and accommodations.
Anne helps with all the details of preparing teams and staff for travel.

Anne Heppel
I am passionate about compassion (meeting the physical needs of others) and the gospel of Jesus Christ. I want to spend my life as an ambassador for Christ and help others do the same.
Anne has worked alongside her husband, Rod, in ministry for the past 29 years. She served for nine years with Avant in Bolivia and, more recently, at Sardis Fellowship Baptist Church where Rod has been a pastor since 2004. She has been able to be part of mission’s trips to Haiti, Mexico and Kenya over the years and sees the benefit of the impact that cross-cultural missions has on North American believers.
Anne has 4 grown children, two wonderful daughter-in-laws and two grandchildren. She loves floral design, hospitality, laughing, traveling and the outdoors.
