Our Board of Directors Panel

Pat Johnson, Founder & Executive Director of Ministry 911, which started in 1986 in Woodland Washington, with the original name of, Southwest Washington Church Network Services, under a board composed of local pastors. SWCNS partnered with community resources, law enforcement and medical services, as well as local businesses, organizations, church ministries and social services in three counties with unprecedented community cooperation and participation. Eventually, the ministry came to the attention of World Vision, a Christian international disaster and relief organization. Mrs. Johnson was invited to join the World Vision staff to further develop and propagate the ministry throughout the US, under the new name of “Love INC”. The entire Johnson family moved to Los Angles in 1989. Love INC grew to 104 affiliates in the United States and 60+ more in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. After Love INC had become self-sustaining, the Johnson's returned to the Northwest, where Mrs. Johnson developed ministry outreach models, with Mission Portland, and other organizations. In 2000, Ministry 911 was developed, to assist individuals, churches, ministries and other help organizations. In 2009, U.S. Digital Outreach Center in Vancouver, Washington, graciously invited Ministry 911 to have office space and many related amenities in their facility. Since that time, Ministry 911 has provided faith-based, non-profit organizations with services to help in development, consultation and replication; Biblical life-coaching, plus training, education and consultation in business and ministry entrepreneurship.
