Meet the ladies of Launch Point!

Pastor Brandi Waples
Brandi's accomplishments: birth, Bible school, kids + work...
It seems I've grown up in ministry since birth. I've attended Rhema and now currently teach for Break Forth Bible Institute.
I've been married for over 20 years + have 2 of the BEST kids in my "humble" opinion. Dickinson, ND is home for me + I'm in charge of the church there. Being involved in Launch Point was a God idea. I love that we get to express without having to impress.
My "loves" are: God, family, people + movies...
food is in there somewhere too.

Christa Phalen
Hi, I'm Christa. I love my husband of over 20 years, my three beautiful children + chocolate!
I said "yes" to the Lord in 1997 + it has been an amazing ride of life. There is no other way to live than to live for HIM. The Gospel is powerful + I love preaching in arenas, homes + churches.
I am very thankful to God for leading us into Launch Point. It is a wonderful thing to be in ministry with my sistas! They are the best + we have LOTS ahead of us, just ask Brandi all the places we will go! People are the only thing we are taking with us to Heaven. Let's go get 'em!

Teri Vester
C'mon now, tell me, who doesn't like dessert?!?
I'm really hoping you do, as that's the nickname I've been given. I've also been nicknamed "The Hammer" but we don't have to talk about that!
I'm Teri + I think you'll find out that I'm pretty honest, straightforward, passionate + fun loving! I've known since I was a child, ministry was my future. I graduated Rhema in '98 + BFBI in '20. I've served in just about every area in the local church. Church is not my job, it has + always will be my life... we ARE the church!!
God gave me the man of my prayers + we've been successfully married for over 20 years. To top that off we have 3 beautiful children! I get to minister alongside my husband, teach a few classes in BFBI + I have the privilage of serving in various capacities within BFBC + beyond.
One of my absolute favorite things is to see people grow + get into their place in the body of Christ... and have FUN while doing it! Life is too short to be grumpy about it. Choose to love people + be unoffendable' you'll be much happier + enjoy your life!
Launch Point, which was orchestrated by God, has helped me to personally grow. It's been a tool to strengthen believers + is an absolute joy to be able to minister alongside my sister + sister-in-love!
