In 2000, Pastor Yvonne Brooks and Dr. John Stanko met for the first time when he held a seminar in the U.K. focusing on how to find one's life purpose. Pastor Yvonne was intrigued, invited Dr. John to return to repeat the seminar and the rest, as they say, is history. Even though they are separated by a vast ocean, they are forever connected through their passion to see people everywhere know and fulfill their God-given purpose. Today, Pastor Yvonne heads Women of Purpose in the U.K. and has established The Esther Academy in Zimbabwe, South Africa, and the U.K. Dr. John is president of PurposeQuest International and Urban Press, and writes and speaks about purpose to a worldwide audience.If you are looking to connect with your purpose and be encouraged by those who have found theirs, Connected: Colleagues on Purpose will give you practical advice on doing both while inspiring you as you learn how these two purpose champions have impacted the world.
