MEET OUR TEAM
DECHARI COLE
FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
GL4G started with Dechari’s heart to share the fullness of Jesus with the next generations of girls. In 2007, she asked God a powerful question, “How do I tell them they don’t have to settle; that You have so much more for them if they will trust You with everything?” God has since led Dechari to author, incorporate GL4G as a nonprofit, create Christian conferences and events, and disciple girls across the USA. Dechari & her husband live in Nashville, TN.
Francine Ivey
DIRECTOR
Francine has a special heart for this ministry as she not only invested in its Executive Director, Dechari, when she was a youth, but also watched God birth GL4G. Francine is a proud mom of 3, CEO of Consumed Coaching, Founder of Consumed by the Call Ministries, speaker, author, certified master coach and bible teacher. She sees God's hand in divinely orchestrating not only her position on the board, but for this ministry vessel to help many teens nation wide & internationally to build a Christ centered community.

Baylee Sanders
Programs & Operations Coordinator
Dechari met Baylee at a time her heart was desiring to step into a God-given dream to hold a camp for teen girls to bake & sew & grow in a deeper relationship with Jesus. Little did either of them know that Camp Mary & Martha was about to be birthed and become a program of GL4G and that she would co-author a new teen study, "Choose What's Better."
Baylee is organized and creative. She loves sewing, embroidery, crochet. She has a huge heart for helping girls find their identity in Jesus and teaching them life skills (cooking, sewing, etc.). She and her husband and baby girl live in Fleetwood, NC.
Mallory Bentley
Admin & Communications Coordinator
Dechari was introduced to this awesome young woman while visiting her home church in NC. Like Baylee, Mallory was entering into a time of transition and became a co-writter on a new teen study called "Choose What's Better" and co-director of Camp Mary and Martha, a new program of GL4G.
Mallory shares the heart of GL4G to see this next generation discipled in a deep relationship with Jesus. Mallory is a creative and planner. She loves crochet, design, party planning and is great with details. She lives with her husband in Millers Creek, NC.
