About Linda...

"As we live out our daily lives, each must choose whom they will serve.  I seek to maintain a close fellowship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and to serve Him as He directs. My desire is to be in the center of His will at all times. It is my prayer that Words of Encouragement will encourage and exhort all of us towards a closer relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ through increased knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. May it provide the help and hope you seek" -- Linda Hull

 

 

Linda Hull is the author, editor, and publisher of Words of Encouragement.  Becoming a Christian as a young teen, she received the call to share her faith in Jesus Christ with others.  However, the thought of sharing her faith struck her heart with fear.  As with many of us, she was ill-prepared and ill-equipped.  So began a journey to learn and grow in Biblical wisdom and knowledge.  Linda understood the need for every believer to become discipled in God's Word, having struggled throughout her early Christian years to "make sense of it all".  

It seemed that the Lord was leading in the creation of a teaching ministry, so in 1995, as a wife and mother,  Linda began "Words of Encouragement" as a creative outlet to minister to women at home, raising a family. This was no easy feat, since Linda was also home schooling. Time to write was sandwiched between activities at Church, home schooling, chores, and family time.  The first issues were published bi-monthly beginning in September of that year. It was a small beginning, but our Lord blessed. Again, under the leading of the Lord, it was decided that monthly issues be provided starting with the June issue of 1996. In the meantime, the May/June issue of 1996 marked the first issue published online. New technology and Internet access provided a new venue for teaching others about Jesus Christ! David Hull served as web master, and continues as a consultant.

Today, the Internet allows her the privilege of continuing her ministry to her family at home, while impacting others through her writing.  Linda knows from personal experience the transitions a woman goes through as she lives out her faith.  At 51, Linda completed her college education receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Business, Management, and Economics with a concentration in Organization Development--in addition to her other endeavors.  As a parent of teens, (and still home schooling), she has more time to write, and more time to devote to ministering to the needs of women trying to "make sense of it all".  A wife and mother wears many hats, and Linda is no exception.  She has experience as a caregiver, teacher, crisis counselor, mentor, and life coach.  

Linda and her family have traveled extensively throughout the U.S.  Through the years, Linda has served as a Sunday School teacher, church administrator, outreach director, and Ladies' Bible study teacher.  She is also a certified Evangelism Explosion trainer.  God has well-equipped her to share her faith with others!  Linda looks forward to sharing Biblical wisdom and counsel with her readers.
