When living in Virginia, Mrs. De Bruin received her Master of Arts in school counseling and for ten years, she counseled children at the elementary level.

It was her experience counseling children and parents from difficult backgrounds that led her to first pray and seek the Lord. The Lord saved her in the beginning of 2020 and shortly after, her husband came to faith. They consider themselves blessed to be members of Missio Dei since then. In the past three years, the Lord has guided their family through deep valleys and continually demonstrated His lovingkindness and faithfulness. For as long as she can remember Mrs. De Bruin has had the desire to help children flourish. When she witnessed her daughter thriving at Imago Dei and saw the beauty of the body of Christ at work in the school, she knew it was something she had to be a part of in some capacity. Whether through music, visual arts, or writing, the Lord has cultivated a love for beauty and a deep love of children within her.
