About Us

Molinda Hern

I’m Molinda, but most people call me Mo. I am a military wife to my husband, Rick, and mom to a wonderful daughter, Moranda, and amazing son-in-law, Brandon. I have worn numerous hats over the years: homeschool mom; program/project manager; business analyst; mentor; overall generalist (whatever needs done). 

Being in a military family, there has been many moves. I have adopted the slogan “bloom where I am planted.” I’ve spent most of my adult life encouraging, empowering, and mentoring those in my circles. Recently, I have been praying the bold prayer of Jabez,  “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do…” And God granted him his request.” 1 Chronicles‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

It is my heart’s desire and prayer to help others experiencing the messiness of life find the root cause of their mess, their pain, so they can experience healing, freedom, and try joy. I also desire to “expand my territory” by encouraging and empowering you through this blog. 

Larry George

Larry George was raised in a Christian home. His father was in the Air Force and they lived in various places around the U.S., as well as Germany. He attended New Tribes Bible Institute in Jackson, Mich., where he met Joyce, who had been raised in Brazil, S.A., as a daughter of missionaries serving with New Tribes Mission. They were married in 1976 and have two daughters, Rachel & Abbey, son-in-law, Mike, and three grandchildren, Macie, Preston & David.

Larry and Joyce founded Siloam Missionary Homes, a ministry that provides homes for missionaries in Snow Camp, NC, in 1992. The ministry has expanded to 44 acres with 15 homes, a farm, and involvement in an overseas ministry, Mission At Work in Thailand. Prior to becoming President of the ministry, Larry George was an executive in the homebuilding industry. His specific expertise in construction project planning, cost control and quality enhancement has helped the ministry to grow and develop while maintaining consistency of service and quality.

Larry obtained a Bachelor’s in Biblical Studies in 2005 and a Master’s Degree in Pastoral Counseling from Andersonville Theological Seminary in 2008, and is a Certified Counselor through the American Association of Christian Counselors. He was ordained in 2006. He retired from Siloam Missionary Homes in 2021 but continues to be involved in the lives of missionary families, helping with fund raising and mentoring them. He also has a passion for training the next generation to grow in their relationship with the Lord and teaching them to pass it along to others.

Our Story
I remember vividly the evening I was watching television and there was a special news break. We were under a Covid 19 pandemic, a flu hitting the world at a very fast rate. The world in which we lived came to a sudden stop. It was like waking up from a bad dream, and although I told myself, “This can’t be happening!” it was. We began to see the world in a different way.

Fear in itself is difficult. But, when fear begins to spiral out of control, it becomes dark and heavy. I was in need of something positive and encouraging. So, I called my Aunt Karen Mulder, author of Wisdom of the Wounded, who is always a breath of fresh air to me. She told me, “Everything I see on TV and in the faces of people seems to make me feel dark, negative. But, I decided this morning, ‘I choose light!’”

Her statement led me to write this blog, I Choose Today because I realize that in every situation, I have a choice in how I respond.

I would like to encourage you to join me on this journey.
