Assistant Mission Director
Donna Heid
Ever since a profound encounter with God's love during a retreat in high school, Donna has been guided by a deep conviction to share the love of Christ with others. Through her involvement with Campus Ministry during college, the Lord inspired Donna to pursue ministry as a full-time career. Donna first pursued this call by serving as a SPIRITUS Missionary in Wisconsin. Seeking a deeper understanding of the faith, Donna then earned a Master of Arts in Theology by completing the Echo program through the University of Notre Dame. Following her studies, Donna traveled abroad to serve as a NET Ireland missionary and team supervisor, and since then has come to recognize her call to follow the Lord as a lifelong missionary disciple.
