Malinda Butz is a teacher on the Boston Campus team. She had a life-changing encounter with the Lord back in 2013 and has been in a passionate pursuit of more of Jesus ever since. She is passionate about seeing others have an encounter with the love and power of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. Led by the Lord, she sought out Encounter Ministries to learn and grow in partnering with the Holy Spirit in ministering to others. Her involvement with Encounter Ministries has helped her to connect with others who were like-minded in desiring to mature in love and faith and the promise of Jesus given to his disciples in John 14:12: “Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.”
