Janet Gassman

Coming to Know Jesus

Janet Baylis Gassman grew up in a Christian home and at the age of 12, during a church service, she realized that her sin had put Jesus on the Cross. It broke her heart. 

With confession and repentance, she sought His forgiveness and received Jesus into her life. She was later baptized and surrendered herself for His service. Her heart longed to express her love by serving Him.

Coming to Know Her Calling

Life was not working for Janet. She experienced deep disappointment that took her through some dark times. It was during those dark days, as she worked through her own struggles Biblically, that she began to have a deep compassion for hurting women. Through God’s intervention, Janet returned to school to receive her B.A. degree from Multnomah Bible College in Portland, Oregon and then graduate with her M.A. in counseling from Western Seminary, Seattle under the direction of Dr. Dan Allender.
