Connie Czepiel is a retired International Finance Manager whose values include travel, adventure and service to God and country.  She is a former Peace Corps volunteer (Botswana) and Air Force veteran.  Her passion for foreign missions has taken her to such exotic locations as Madagascar, New Guinea, Nepal and Hanoi Vietnam, to mention a few.  In her memoir, Dream On! The Alarm Clock of Your Life Hasn’t Gone Off Yet, she encourages people to live their dreams; not just talk about them.  She provides strategies and action steps for doing so and tells inspirational stories from her life of service.  Her work included assignments with Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), Mercy Ships and Samaritan’s Purse.  Connie Czepiel’s second book, Wounded No More! An Individualized Plan to Heal Church Wounds, expresses her compassion for those who have been hurt.  Her hope is to bring people back to faith by acknowledging what has gone wrong in our churches and by providing practical steps that lead to hope and healing.  Connie is the mother of three grown children and two grandchildren.  She resides in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
