Lisa Way
Director of Operations
Hi, I'm Lisa! The operations of Acorn excite me; to be a part of vision planning, strategic development, and delivery of our resources that produce fruit is rewarding and humbling. Being a part of Acorn is about putting the healing ministry of Jesus in the hands of ordinary Disciples and for healing to be accessible to all. I am a fully qualified Youth Worker with 10 years of experience in different contexts, including the USA and Asia. In my spare time you can find me swimming, enjoying a game of disc golf, cooking, and being with my husband.
