Terry Bracey

Area Director

Terry Bracey serves as area director of the Louisiana ministry, which serves the state of Louisiana as well as the countries of Ecuador and Uruguay. Terry comes to the role with nearly 20 years of non-profit and church leadership experience at the local, national and international levels.  She is passionate about encouraging and equipping the church to serve, evangelize, include, and disciple people living with disability. Terry believes building deep relationships is crucial in ministry. Because of that focus on relationships, she loves developing strategic partnerships and leading teams of volunteers. When Terry is not working, she loves traveling with family and friends to new places. New England is her favorite destination.
