Planned Giving
God continues to bless It Is Written with outstanding team members. Olan Thomas has retired after serving the ministry for 13 years. However, we are thankful that he is still supporting the team as a part-time consultant. In light of his departure, we have supplemented our planned giving team with two new members. I am pleased to introduce you to Monica Edwards, who will be our new planned giving director. We also welcome Michael Pelletier who is now serving the northeast region as our field representative and planned giving consultant. Welcome, Monica and Michael, to the It Is Written team!
Monica Edwards grew up in Boston, Massachusetts, and has also lived in California and Georgia. For the past 20 years she has been an estate planning attorney. In 2013, Monica was first introduced to the three angel’s messages, and within five months of that she was baptized. Her walk with the Lord has continued to strengthen each year. She credits her newfound peace and happiness with her decision to follow Christ. Monica recently felt called to use the gifts with which God has blessed her to serve the Lord full-time by joining the It Is Written planned giving team. Monica also enjoys studying God’s Word daily, working out regularly, and finding new ways to prepare delicious plant-based, nutritious dishes.
Michael Pelletier, a native of Rhode Island, was baptized over 20 years ago. His excitement for what he learned from the Bible led him to work full-time for God. Since 2010, he has pastored churches, first in Kansas, and more recently in Connecticut, where he presently lives with his wife Elena and their four children, Joel, Alan, Kayleigh, and Abel. Michael speaks English and Spanish and has developed a strong interest in Christian stewardship and legacy planning. When not involved in service, he cherishes family time and exploring national parks.
Monica and Michael look forward to getting to know It Is Written supporters.
