Having served as President of Heart of God International Ministries for more than a decade, Jan Ross has expanded her outreach to include women’s ministry, writing, speaking and more. Her heart’s desire is to nurture growth and grace in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ through any open door presented to her, that God might be glorified, not only in her life but in the lives of countless others through surrendered lives to the will of God.
Author, speaker, Bible teacher, passionately pro-life and pro-family, Jan’s many-pronged ministry stems from a heart determined to invite others to walk in the Light of God’s Word. From a child, Jan has felt the call of God on her life — a life that has led her down a unique path of learning how our very personal God intervenes in the individual lives of men, women and children.
Last year, Jan had five books published, four of which are a series of devotionals collected from years of writing and sharing with her internet audience what God had been speaking to her through the past decades. Seasons of Refreshing is available for Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. To learn more, please use the button provided below.
In addition to the Seasons of Refreshing series, she also authored a devotional for Military Personnel and their families (including Veterans). V.I.C.T.O.R.Y. Armed Forces Devotional is for sale with a special offer included: For every book you purchase, THREE books are provided free of charge to Veterans and Active Service military members and their families.

Jan’s heart for the broken vessel yearning to be made new as the Master Potter molds and makes His creation into His own image has opened opportunities up to her to share her heart as it reflects her Father’s heart with those seeking freedom found in relationship with Jesus Christ. Along with teaching at women’s conferences and retreats as well as a weekly Bible study at her home Church, she considers it an incredible privilege to have been invited to be a regular monthly speaker at Teen Challenge of the Firelands, opening the Word of God as it speaks to the hearts of the students and faculty alike.
Jan is currently booking speaking engagements for fall and winter and on into 2019. If you would like additional information, please use the button below to contact Jan.
Orphan Sunday
Jan is an Orphan Sunday Coordinator in Ohio, eager to share the needs of orphans with churches and other organizations.
On Orphan Sunday, Christians stand for the orphan. We are a people called to defend the fatherless…to care for the child that has no family…to visit orphans in their distress. Each event is locally-led. Sermons and small groups, concerts and prayer gatherings, shared meals and youth activities—each rousing believers with God’s call to care for the orphan, and what we can do in response. From many sources, one voice. Each November, thousands of events will echo across America and around the globe, all sharing a single goal: that God’s great love for the orphan will find echo in our lives as well. Orphan Sunday is an opportunity to rouse church, community and friends to God’s call to care for the orphan.
History of Orphan Sunday
Many churches and organizations have hosted “Orphan Sundays” over the years. With a nationwide Orphan Sunday, the Christian Alliance for Orphans seeks to add a unified voice and coordinated effort to the many worthy efforts that preceded this year. The seeds of this united Orphan Sunday come especially as a gift from the Church in Africa. While attending a church service in Zambia, an American visitor was struck by the pastor’s passionate call to care for orphans in the local community, which had been ravaged by AIDS and poverty. Members of the church faced deep need themselves. But as the service ended, one after another stepped forward with money, food and other goods-some even taking off their own shoes and placing them in the offering for orphans. The visitor, Gary Schneider, was so impacted that he began to help Zambian leaders coordinate Orphan Sunday efforts across Zambia. These efforts spread to the U.S. in 2003 with help from Every Orphan’s Hope and other organizations. (Orphan Sunday is licensed to the Christian Alliance for Orphans as a registered trademark of Every Orphan’s Hope). The Christian Alliance for Orphans honors the church in Zambia for the gift of Orphan Sunday. We pray the church all over the world may be as faithful as our Zambian brothers and sisters to reflect God’s heart for the orphan, both near and far.
