Justin and Rachel Peck
Founders and Board President

It all started with a prayer, “Break our hearts for what breaks yours.” And as Jeremiah 29:13 says, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” A kitchen became the training ground, a living room a church. Discipleship was done over the phone, while running errands, and side-by-side while doing farm chores.

The women that showed up came from a variety of backgrounds. Domestic abuse. Drug addictions. Poor life decisions that led to hurtful consequences. But God showed up. And as hearts believed, lives were changed. In 2020, Rachel transitioned into the role of Executive Director to continue growing the ministry.

Justin and Rachel have been married for 10 years and have two young daughters.

Janie Burnett - Secretary of the Board

Janie was married for 40 years to Randy Burnett, who pastored 38 years of that time. Following his death in 2012, God prompted her to lead a women’s life group for singles, divorcees and widows. But now, the group encompasses women from all walks of life regardless of marital status.

Janie has a heart to love and serve women who need to know how much God sees, knows and loves them.

Janie has served on the Board of Directors since December 2020.

Josh and Kim Kolstad - Board Members

Josh and Kim have always had a strong desire to serve the local church, youth, and their community. This is motivated by a desire for all to experience God’s love and protection, even in the midst of difficulty. 

Josh has served in law enforcement for the past 23 years and teaches parenting classes at the county jail. Kim was a junior high teacher and girls’ basketball coach and served on the leadership team of her county’s foster support group, with an emphasis on advocating for children with special needs. Together, they are actively involved in the foster and adoption community, having fostered children for twelve years and adopted three.

Being involved in the foster community strengthened their aspirations to advocate not only the children affected by crisis, but also their parents and caretakers.  This brought them to serve at 431 Ministries, where they could point those coming out of crisis to the One who perfectly knows, sees, and loves each of us. 

Josh and Kim Kolstad have been married for 22 years and have four children. 

Josh and Kim Kolstad have served on the Board of Directors since July 2023.
