Isaiah 61:3, “I will bestow on her a crown of beauty instead of ashes.”

Meet Dr. Peggy Banks!
She is the Global Ministry Director for TransWorld Radio’s Women of Hope. 

Dr. Peggy Banks

The first time I met Peggy was at a KGM Luncheon.  We later met for coffee, and during that visit, I asked how she came to know Jesus.

Never – in my wildest imagination – did I expect to hear what she shared.  By the time she finished her story, tears of sadness and joy were streaming down both of our faces. 

I marvel at how far the Lord has brought her.  He found her in a pit and pulled her out, giving her amazing purpose.  Peggy is the epitome of Isaiah 61:3, “…I will bestow on her a crown of beauty instead of ashes.”

Don’t let her title scare you.  Peggy is as everyday as you and me.  She’s warm.  She’s tenderhearted.  And she’s busy!  She travels all over the world sharing the reality of Jesus in ONE WOMAN.  It’s hard to connect with her for sushi or coffee because she’s almost always out of the country.

But you will have the incredible opportunity to meet her!  Join us.  Her story will inspire and give you hope – especially if you’ve experienced extreme hardship.
