Friends Spotlight on Lisa Troyer

Meet our Fearless Leader! Circle of Friends began with a small accountablility group with a desire to encourage other women. Lisa has been a driving force of that ministry from the start.

A multi-talented woman, God has gifted Lisa with a passion to serve women. I think what blesses me most about this sweet friend is her humility - before God and man. Her heart's desire is to follow Christ fully - to live her life as He wills, and to lead others down that same path. A devoted wife and mother, she is also an astute businesswoman, radio personality, worship leader, and singer. Involved in the music industry for many years, Lisa has a true heart for worship. Two of her singles that were released across the air waves recently are Forever and Pour Your Love Down, both of them featuring our own Circle of Friends Worship Team.

I have known Lisa many years, and one of the things that has remained constant is her desire to share what God has given her - through mentoring, serving, teaching, and ministering to the hearts of women. She has a sharp wit with a dry sense of humor - mostly aimed at herself! I so appreciate her transparency, her 'realness', and willingness to share her own struggles on her journey with the Lord. No masks, no pretense. I think God delights in her, because like the woman in John 4 who, when she heard about the 'living water' rushed to tell others about Jesus, Lisa longs to tell women of Christ's love for them.


"Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, "Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?" John 4: 28, 29 (NIV)

Lisa's personality test revealed she is a 'director' - a visionary. God has gifted her in seeing the big picture, the broader vision - 'the possibilities' and the faith to believe God will work and bring it to pass. She has a knack for seeing the potential in others and encouraging them to grow, using their God-given talents and abilities to bless those around them.

Lisa is truly the heartbeat of Circle of Friends Ministries, although she would be the first to point out that the backbone of COF is a group of dedicated women. We so appreciate her and are thankful she is 'at the helm'!
