Bio

As a woman who has journeyed with Jesus for over 40 years, Ann’s life continues to be deeply transformed by the wonders of the gospel and feels called by the Lord to companion others in their pursuit of God’s heart through the practice of contemplative spiritual direction. She is also trained in Ignatian spiritual practices. Ann is a wife, mother of 5, and Gigi of 7. Ann finds joy in lively conversation with friends old and new over a good cup of coffee or tea, long walks in nature, and getting lost in a good book.

Mitzi Mak

Selah-West Faculty & Emmaus Faculty

Mitzi started her professional life as a high school social studies teacher. She and her husband Jerry then served cross-culturally for ten+ years, living abroad first in India and then Kurdistan, N. Iraq. In addition to being a Spiritual Director, she now serves as a Formation and Care pastor in her local church in Houston, TX. She has graduated from LTI’s Selah Spiritual Direction training as well as LTI’s Emmaus Formational Leadership Program.

Mitzi enjoys engaging conversation, reading fiction, doing jigsaw/crossword puzzles, ocean gazing and exploring the world with Jerry through food and travel.

God has two main callings in Mitzi’s life: to care for those who care for others and to be a guide in helping others have a healthy relationship with the Trinity – recognizing God’s loving presence and activity in their lives and how to faithfully respond.

Selah was a transformative experience for me – allowing the contemplative within to emerge and to beautifully co-exist with my extraverted personality.
