Susan Driedger
Susan made the decision to become a Christ follower at the age of 13. In developing her relationship with Jesus she was always desirous to fulfill God’s purpose for her life.
Hence, in 1975 she was used of God to fulfill her God-given vision of developing a ministry to women and for women in the local church that would reach out to the community and meet the needs of all women. She was instrumental in making this happen through her leadership in a large congregation in Sask. The model became an inspiration to other churches.
This gave opportunity for her to share her vision and the model she was developing by co-authoring and publishing the book, “Alliance Women’s Ministries Handbook, as well as conducting numerous workshops on “Building An Effective Women’s Ministry in the Local Church” at conferences, churches of various denominations, and the Alliance seminary. The central focus was always making disciples of Jesus by teaching His Word . Her passion has been to model and share the life of Jesus in such a way that others will come to know Him and experience a life full of meaning and purpose.
