Judy Kanouse
Judy serves as the Director of Urban Ministries and Secretary for the Native American Youth Ministries (NAYM) Board of Directors. She also provides valuable support to the NAYM Treasurer. With over 25 years of experience as a career missionary, Judy remains deeply committed to sharing the love of Jesus with others—a calling she joyfully embraces.
One of the greatest joys in Judy’s life is being a grandmother to Zack, who is half Hopi and currently attending college. Together, they are navigating this season of life with faith, grace, and a shared desire to follow God’s direction.
Judy is actively involved in her home church, where she serves in a variety of roles, including hall monitor, Sunday School teacher, and Vacation Bible School volunteer. She also stays in contact with many of her former dorm students, maternity home residents, and Bible study friends, continuing to offer encouragement and support.
