Friends in Faith: Laura Roland

My friend Laura Roland will tell you she’s an okay speaker, but what she’s called to do is bring women together in Christ. I’m thinking she’s probably selling herself short on the former, but she certainly excels at the latter.
About a year ago, Laura put aside a high-powered career in education to found Encounter Grace, a ministry that offers conferences and other opportunities for women to gather. She’s also helping to get the Facebook community Catholic Women in Business going.
Laura’s selfless, welcoming heart reminds me to see Christ in every stranger I encounter.
