How Pastors’ Hope Network Began
Deanna Harrison, Executive Director of PHN, and her husband, Scott, have been in ministry for 45 years and are survivors of a coup that led to Scott’s forced termination. Deanna founded Pastors’ Hope Network to provide help & hope to pastors (and their families) who have been fired or forced to resign.
