Other Key People

Lynne has served as a mentor and advisor for Freedom Stones since before its inception. She is a Pastor at Overlake Christian Church in Seattle which supports the work of Freedom Stones by hosting home parties and raising funds for our cause. Lynne has visited our field partners in Pattaya multiple times and dreams with us of creating a model of economic development for victims of trafficking that can be replicated all over the world.
Ginger Neisz, Eastside Women of Purpose - Ministry Lead
Ginger was a key volunteer for Freedom Stones in the Seattle area as we launched home parties in the fall of 2009. She continues to work very hard for this cause and leads a team of volunteers through the Eastside Women of Purpose who work to strengthen the work of Freedom Stones in Pattaya, Thailand through our jewelry sales. She has visited our project site in Pattaya and is filling a tremendous role in Seattle on our behalf as a first touch to women who want to host home parties.
Marsha Ashabraner, Freedom Stones branded clasp designer
Marsha rose to the occasion at the last minute, when Leah Knippel had an idea for a clasp design for our jewelry in December of 2008. Five days prior to Leah's trip to Asia to commence Freedom Stones partnerships, Marsha used her jewelry making skills to smelt our branded clasp which is now on every piece of jewelry we make.
