Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep. (Luke 15:4-6)

Jan Shirey is the co-founder of Lost and Found Ministries. She’s had a love for the Lord since being saved when she was 10 years old. Even though she attended church as a child she was on a path that took her away from the Lord. She believes the Lord had his hand on her and brought her back to him when she was in her 30’s. After becoming involved in a women’s group and experiencing healing personally, her passion for spiritual and emotional healing began. As she continued her growth journey, she transitioned from participating in small groups to leading them and then to later overseeing several emotional healing groups. Jan has worked with small groups as well as leading many Bible Studies over the past 21 years. She states that real inner change always comes around to Romans 12:2- Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Her goal is helping women discover who they are in Christ and finding their true identity based on the truth of God’s word. Her desire is for every woman to become the person that God created them to be in spite of life’s circumstances. Based on a personal encounter with the Lord, her viewpoint is “Your Life is Your Ministry”.

She is a graduate of Limestone College with a BS in Business Administration. She was employed by the U.S. Department of the Navy for 23 years. She completed the Caring for People God’s Way curriculum and received a certificate of completion from the American Association of Christian Counselors at Liberty University. Jan lives in North Charleston with her husband Alan and their two daughters.

Alison Robinson is the co-founder of Lost and Found Ministries. She can remember back as far as 4th grade when she had to write a paper about careers that she wanted to help people. She had no idea what that would look like, but the desire was there. She grew up in church; however she truly did not come to know Jesus personally until her 20’s. After having a powerful encounter with the Lord, her hunger for serving him began, and her desire for helping others grew stronger. The Lord has been guiding her and fine tuning this passion for many years. She states, “If you allow the Lord to guide you toward your destiny, He will.” Over the last 15 years, Alison’s passion has been to help hurting women and her goal now through this ministry is to help them experience freedom in Christ and to identify and pursue God’s purpose and calling in their lives.

She is a graduate of the University of North Carolina – Charlotte with a BS in Human Services and the University of South Carolina with a Master of Education in Counselor Education. She completed the Caring for People God’s Way curriculum and received a certificate of completion from the American Association of Christian Counselors at Liberty University. Alison lives in North Charleston with her husband John and their son and daughter.
