Lisa Maki is the Founder and Executive Director of Step Out Ministries International, a non-profit organization whose outreach base is in the Philippines, catering to poor children and families.
Lisa is backed up by over 15 years of ministry experience, both in the Philippines where she came from, and here in the U.S.
Back in the Philippines, she served as Communications Director in an evangelical church, and also as head of Women’s Ministry. From there she formed a ministry for women specializing in emotional healing, which opened doors to the women’s prison, where Maria pastored for three years. Part of the services that this ministry offered was Bible-based seminars and workshops for corporate offices. She was then commissioned as minister in 2006 by a church fellowship with congregations and ministries throughout the United States and the world.
Lisa moved to Washington State in 2009 where she pastored a church with her street-evangelist husband -- a church for those who can't find their fit in traditional churches. This included drug addicts, alcoholics, and those labeled as "rejects" in society. In 2011 she founded God’z Gurlz, a Bible-based online magazine for women, which is now Step Out's official web magazine.
Prior to her surrender to Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, Lisa, as she is known in the professional world, was a successful consultant in Human Resources in Organizational Development. She specialized in designing and conducting Leadership, Management, and Self-Development training programs for companies, including Kraft Foods, Dole Asia, Kimberly-Clark, Aetna, and others.
Lisa holds a Bachelor's Degree in English, and has a Consulting business specializing in Business and Career Coaching. She is also the author of four other books: Armour Bearer Wife II, Where is he? Breaking Chains, Into His Inner Court, and Simplify to Intensify.
Lisa believes that YOUR ASSIGNMENT CHANGES, BUT YOUR PURPOSE REMAINS.
Her assignment now is back in the marketplace where the Lord is using her to help driven people start and build a successful small business.
