2023 Featured Guests

Olivia & Ava Puccini - Missionaries to Eurasia Northwest
Olivia Puccini as served as a missionary for twenty years in the former Soviet Union—in the nations of Armenia and Estonia. While she has worn many hats while overseas—overseeing a Bible College, planting a church alongside her husband, area director over seven countries—she is most passionate about honestly sharing her personal struggles to help people become whole and walk into whom God created them to be. Olivia is an ordained pastor, worship leader, writer, lover of chai tea lattes, wife of Nick, mother to Oliver, Ava, and a Spanish Water dog named Rue.
Ava Puccini, age 13, has spent her entire life overseas as a missionary kid. She loves playing hockey and soccer, being a part of theater productions, a bowl of good borsch soup, and watching episodes of real life emergency situations in the ER.

Angie Goetz - BTG Director
Angie Goetz is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God and continues to work toward the long held traditions of BTG by Encouraging, Equipping, and Empowering women in their faith in Jesus.
Angie and her husband, Cory, live in Austin, MN, and have been married for nearly 27 years. They have three teenage and young adult children. Angie has a professional background of 24 years in property management and various areas of community involvement, including serving for 11 years on her local school board.
She prefers to start her day with a diet coke instead of coffee, loves meeting new friends, spending time with old ones, and a good brainstorming session. She sometimes snorts when she laughs and relaxes by watching sunsets from her front porch in pajama pants as often as she can.
