RE INTERNATIONAL Leadership
We are blessed to have a leadership team who is truly dedicated to Jesus Christ and accomplishing the will of God. They are passionate about their calling and devoted to bringing healing and restored relationships back to Jesus.
In addition to Ron and Erin Manning, our leadership consists of five Board of Directors who are actively involved in the ministry.
Ron and Erin Manning
Lead Pastors
Ron and Erin Manning are passionate about providing Christ-centered ministry, teaching, guidance and hospitality at a level of excellence which impacts lives for Jesus Christ and expands the Kingdom of God. Individually and together, they have ministered for over 30 years.
Ron has led and been a member of several mission trips to Russia, Ukraine, and Guatemala. He is an ordained pastor and, since 1990, preaches, teaches, and leads bible studies, among other leadership roles and responsibilities within the church.
Erin is an ordained paster and, since 2004, teaches, leads bible studies, creates and coordinates workshops, conferences and retreats, and provides Christian coaching for women.
They believe salvation is an event and sanctification is a process, and this process requires grace and mercy to be extended by all Christians to all people which is provided to each of us by the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Kingdom of God is only expanded when the love of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ is shared.
Dan and Angie Gardener
Board Members
Dan and Angie were married in 1993 and have followed the Lord since their early years. Dan earned an Associate of Arts degree from Logos College and both have actively served God within the church in various capacities over the years. In 2010, they relocated from Jacksonville, Florida to Huntsville, Alabama to assist in the establishment of a new church plant where they were involved in a multitude of roles including children's ministry, altar and prayer ministry, hospitality, women's ministry and ultimately served as deacons.
Through their observations over the years, they have witnessed the pain that can arise when members of the Body of Christ experience hurt. "Such experiences can be devastating and may hinder individuals from fulfilling their calling, ultimately affecting the church's mission to serve as salt and light in the world."
RE International Foundation is honored to have Dan and Angie serve on our Board of Directors and play a vital role in our ministry.
Steve and Judith Page
Board Members
Steve and Judy Page were married in 1968 and have 3 children and 14 grandchildren. Steve was raised Catholic and gave his life to Jesus in 1980. He helped establish Wholeness Ministry in 1999 to assist individuals to be set free from shame, guilt and fear. He has had the privilege to make several short term mission trips to Russia, Ukraine and Romania and participated in seeing lives changed forever.
"Being whole-hearted returns the loss of joy, binds up the broken hearts caused by not receiving care and love or suffering from abuse (mental and physical) and emotional pain."
Judy felt God answered a prayer from her at the age of 10 when her dad was rushed to the hospital for brain surgery. She has maintained a strong faith and belief in God and has always been thankful her family were strong believers.
"It was the Lord who brought my husband into my life. We have been on an adventure for 56 years and have felt God's protection over us in difficult times, disappointments and celebrations, but the blessings have been amazing."
RE International Foundation is honored to have Steve and Judy a part of our ministry.
Bettie Sweeten
Board Member
Bettie has been involved in ministry since 1999. She believes her calling is to help those who need healing from their past to move into what God has called them to. Her heart's desire is for everyone to be all that they can be for Jesus. She is currently involved in jail ministry for women in Dandridge, TN and is an administrative assistant at Agape Acres in Jefferson City, TN where she has ministered since 2010.
"I love being involved with God's work and I am excited about what happens next."
RE International Foundation is honored to have Bettie serve on our Board of Directors and play a vital role in our ministry.
