A Blessing of Relational Joy (Doodle #1)

This is our prayer for your relational journey. Just as these Bible characters’ relationships affected their lives, we pray that God will open our eyes to see the gifts he has placed right before us.

Marlene Allen currently serves as the Executive Director of Life Model Works. She is an author, teacher, mentor, networker, licensed minister, and joy-starter. She graduated from McNeese State University in her home state of Louisiana. Her passion for teaching spiritual principles to young people led to a forty-plus-year journey of serving in schools and churches. During her 16-year service as a missionary in Southeast Asia, Marlene was introduced to Life Model Works and finally found the language to articulate the value of joy that she carried within her.

Prior to becoming executive director, Marlene was a relational practitioner and served on the Life Model Works Board of Directors. She firmly believes Life Model Works’ relational tools will help us represent the Lord better on the Earth.
