Meet our Founders

Diane McGehee, Co-Founder & Director

Diane McGehee founded Together in Hope with her husband, Jack McGehhe, to fund and support projects in the United States and around the world that work for the improvement of the lives of the poor. Pastor of a Filipino Asian-American congregation in Bellaire, Texas, Diane also serves on the Advisory Board for the Duke Center for Reconciliation. Her passion and life-goal is to provide food, education, and economic development opportunities for people throughout the world, particularly the oppressed and the poor. This passion arises out of her belief that as a Christian she is called to walk in love with all peoples of all religions and cultures in a form that honors the dignity and uniqueness of all human beings as children of God and invites them into, and helps make possible, a life of material and spiritual abundance.

Jack McGehee, Co-Founder
