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.
CANDACE
DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
Candace has been a faithful supporter of GL4G over the years. She served during a season of several events including, My Fairy Tale Ball, and personally hosted a girls' bible study based on our book, Finding Your Fairy Tale Ending, where we first got connected. Candace is a true princess in heart and spirit and loves to disciple the next generation to find that same identity in Jesus. She, her husband and daughter live in Murfreesboro, TN.
CATHY
DIRECTOR
God used Cathy in sharing our mission several years ago that led to B&H discovering and publishing our first edition of Finding Your Fairy Tale Ending. Cathy is kind, faithful and compassionate and has joyfully served in her church, home and ministries to show the love of Jesus. She is ready to help GL4G combat the lies of the enemy, build up the next generation to know whose they are and help these girls live out their faith fearlessly! Cathy is mom of 3 graduates. She and her husband live in Franklin, TN.

We felt the Lord confirming that we needed another godly man on our board and Kevin came highly recommended. Kevin serves as the Student Pastor at Family Worship Center in Murfreesboro, TN. His wisdom, experience, kindness and energy has blessed our team. Kevin is passionate to see this next generation walk with their Heavenly Father and excited to be working with others who share this same passion.

Sherry’s daughter was able to journey through our Finding Your Fairy Ending curriculum several years ago and it’s been sweet how God reconnected Sherry with GL4G through our recent Sponsor a Princess opportunity.
