Courtney Dawson
- Details
Courtney Dawson was born and raised in McRae, Arkansas. Growing up, she attended church but did not have a real passion to surrender her life to Jesus. That all changed when she and her husband, Rodney, had their first daughter. God gave Courtney a clear message at that time, "You can't give her what you don't have.", and she knew that she wanted her daughter to grow up personally knowing the One who created her and loved her. She received Jesus' grace and was blessed to be mentored by women in her local church who fostered in her a love for studying and teaching God's Word and a love for serving people.
Since then, she has spent the last 20 plus years teaching ladies bible classes, leading ladies' retreats, organizing VBS, leading food ministries and service projects, coaching her daughters' basketball teams for 10 years, and volunteering with her family at the local nursing home for 10 years.
Courtney is passionate about discipleship and showing compassion to those that are hurting, overlooked, and ignored.
In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, kayaking, reading, watching movies, and enjoying good food with friends and family. Courtney lives next to her in-laws' cattle farm in Judsonia, Arkansas, with her husband Rodney and their two girls, Rachel and Anna.
