God has gifted Justin with administrative and pastoral gifts and has formed these gifts in him through years of experience in ministry on the mission field. Justin believes wholeheartedly in the concept of family, fully desiring for the Compassionate Touch family to lean into their giftings and use them to extend God’s love to others. In his short time as Executive Director, he is tremendously grateful to lead a family of called individuals who care for the seriously ill and their loved ones.

She loves that Compassionate Touch allows her to bring her active faith and professional giftedness together to impact the immediate tangible needs of hospital patients and their caregivers.

Carol Pauley
DFW Community Liaison

Carol joined the Compassionate Touch family in November 2021 after finishing a career serving children and families as a social worker at ChristianWorks in Dallas. Her heart has always been inclined toward serving others and encouraging hurting people. When Carol learned about her current position, she knew retirement would be short-lived. Understanding that hospital rooms are sacred spaces, she loves that we get to be present to those suffering serious illnesses and their families.
Andrea Bruna Morgan
Applications Administrator
Andrea finds tremendous beauty in what she does, knowing her work directly impacts the lives of patients going through very hard times. It motivates her daily to get Compassionate Touch funding from our generous donors directly to those patients. Her Compassionate Touch family and their continued support makes this role her favorite yet, and she believes God placed her in this ministry at the perfect time, something for which she is truly grateful.
