In addition to Steve and Rujon Morrison, we would like to introduce you to some of our other team members. All our team members have been through the retreat program as part of their training prior to serving on staff as well as a rigorous mentoring program.

HFN Core Team

Kara Kim joined the HFN team in April 2007 after experiencing her own breakthrough at an Intensive Retreat in 2006. She is a social worker by training and received her Masters Degree in Social Work at Columbia University in 2002. Kara has worked in the areas of domestic violence, at-risk youth, prison ministry and continues to enjoy bringing truth into people's hearts about who they really are in God's eyes. She has joined the HFN Team to encourage, intercede for and empower people in their journey towards freedom and experiencing more abundant life.

She currently resides in Manhattan, NY with her husband and loves to draw, read and spend quality time with friends.

Brenda Smith

Brenda has been a Christian since 1973 but didn’t fully realize her identity in Christ until her participation in an HFN retreat some 20 years later. She has worked with HFN for several years in a number of ways: as a Listener/Encourager on retreats, as a coach with participants, as a graphics artist for HFN, and as a team project leader.

Brenda is a graphic designer and spent 25 years in advertising as a creator director designing such things as trade shows, magazines, billboards, print ads, television, as well as designing jewelry. One of her creations is the Healing for the Nations retreat brochure. She also holds an MBA from Kennesaw University. She is also on the Advisory Board for the School of Visual Arts, Kennesaw University in Kennesaw Georgia.

Brenda is married and the mother of four children, and grandmother to a new grandson. She lives in the greater Atlanta, Georgia area.

The Pearl of Great Price
In the past few years, Brenda has shifted her creative design focus to jewelry and is especially passionate about her unique “Pearl of Great Price” pendant. Brenda comments, “The Pearl of Great Price pendant is a constant reminder of our value and identity and well as a powerful witnessing tool. The “seed” idea for this beautiful piece was actually planted when she first attended HFN’s Intensive Retreat. Check out our Product page for more information on this piece.

Rhonie Hammond is a tremendous asset in our office as she coordinates the production of retreat materials and supplies. She’s the first team member you meet during registration and is involved in behind-the-scenes logistics at retreats and our women’s From Head to Heart Bible studies.

Rhonie has been in ministry since 1979 with much of her work being in Europe and the former Soviet Union. Working in the role of Listener / Encourager at our retreats, she has a real heart of compassion. –And, you can also see her adding life to many of our teachings with her creative illustrations.


Rhonie is married and has three children. She has been with Healing for the Nations in Georgia since 1998.

Kim Burnett, LPC, M.S. has completed a Masters of Science at Georgia State University and a Specialist degree in Family Therapy and Adlerian psychology. She has been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2003 working with individuals, families, and adolescents. Kim loves to see people grow in their relationship with Christ and see how their relationships with family, friends and connections at work blossom in Christ's healing hands.

"HFN is the cornerstone for own my healing. I have had a relationship with Christ since I was a child, but I did not understand the true meaning of his grace for me until I was introduced to the concepts provided by HFN when I was 28. The retreat I went through at 38 changed my life. Through understanding God's desire to celebrate my life, I was empowered to be who I was meant to be. I have a wonderful marriage with Robert Burnett. Rob has been with the HFN team for more than 10 years, and together we enjoy my two teens, Jake and Meredith, his three teen daughters, Andria, Ashley and Annie, and our son born in March of 2006, Nathaniel. We also have a mini farm with 4 horses, 3 dogs and mice in the barn, so I keep telling my husband, cats are coming!"

Additional Team

HFN team volunteers serve on The Intensive Retreat in a number of ways: in logistical matters, helping with teaching, coaching and serving as Listener/Encouragers. Each of these individuals has attended an Intensive Retreat, use the tools presented in their own lives and are trained for the specific areas in which they serve. The team organized for each retreat is dependent upon the number of participants attending.

In addition to the on site team, over 500 individuals world-wide commit to pray for the participants during their retreat week. These "prayer warriors" have all attended a retreat of their own, and know the power of prayer. It is a beautiful picture of behind the scenes support and certainly helps usher in the presence of God. And yes, miracles do happen!
