Family Outreach

Raised in Elmhurst, Illinois, Larry is and will always be a Cubs fan. He holds an MA in Counseling and is motivated by the desire to help others.

In his spare time he volunteers and coaches with Special Olympics. His favorite food is pizza and he loves to read The Chronicles of Narnia and watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Larry's favorite scripture verse is Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

After providing in-home daycare for five years, Andi Bishop received her B.A. in Behavioral Science to enhance her career in helping families and children. Her passion to work with families is fueled by her own life experiences. Andi believes it is never too late to change and that all people deserve to have positive support in their lives.

Jim grew up in Oklahoma, a troubled, hurting child, and he is passionate about helping troubled families. He and his wife spent many years as missionaries in Central America before joining our staff in 2004. In addition to his work at Christian Heritage, Jim provides religious services for the jail and prisons.

He enjoys western movies, especially Paint Your Wagon, and enjoys creating handmade gifts for family and friends in his spare time. He loves to say, “If your wife don’t find you handsome she should find you handy. I bought tools.”

Rhoni began working in the Human Services field as a Family Support Worker in 2002. It didn’t take long for her to realize how much she loved walking alongside families through some of their most difficult days and watching them grow. Rhoni has earned her B.A. in Psychology and Biblical Studies and is passionate about helping families build on their strengths to achieve their goals. You may reach her at rhonib@chne.org or 402.310.5111.

Born and raised in Omaha, Vince received his post-secondary education through “a hodge-podge of technical courses in the US Air Force, Federal Aviation Administration, and consequences from poor decisions.”

Vince’s favorite food is anything that allows him to use one of his two grills, smoker, or outdoor pizza oven. In addition to cooking with his wife, Cathy, he enjoys reading historical fiction and small home improvement projects that let him “McGuyver” stuff together in the garage. Vince and Cathy lived at the Naval base in Guantanamo Bay from 2008 to 2009, where Vince worked as a civilian contractor. Vince and Cathy are fond of border collies; Angus McFergus McTavish Dundee accompanied them to Cuba and Fiona Sophia Primavera Dundee lives with them now.

Vince is guided by a favorite saying: “Don't look around you and find what needs to be done, look around you and see what makes you come alive and do that. The world needs people who have come alive” (Howard Thurman) and the feeling of the Lord’s pleasure when he invests in someone else.
