HGI Team

HGI’s team prayerfully seeks God’s leading in the partnerships and projects we collaborate with. As God continues to lead and bless, we will continue to provide grants in the areas of orphan care and support for vulnerable people.

Board of Directors

Shelley Brown

Shelley first visited Kenya and Uganda through a Visiting Orphans trip in October 2011, after the loss of her daughter Gaby Hope. This trip led to God showing her that He wanted more obedience as He continued to develop her passion for overlooked children. God also began a treasured friendship between Shelley and Haven of Hope Director, Nellie. One step in her journey was founding the ministry Hope Grafted In. Shelley and her husband Gabe have a passion for speaking up for those that cannot speak up for themselves. God has given them 6 children. Shelley is the Executive Director of HGI.

Daniel Hauser

Dan earned his undergraduate degree in Education from IWU and his MBA from Taylor University. His passion for the fatherless stems from his life as a foster father. He is married to his wife, Meghan, and together they are the parents of 6 children. He is passionate about the lives of children and helping them to realize the most abundant life possible.

Vicki Moravec

Vicki has always had a passion for children and for marginalized groups. She took her first trip to Uganda in 2014 and started volunteering for Hope Grafted In that same year. Vicki is active in her church and directs a soccer league that includes programming for special needs children. She believes all children deserve a life where they feel loved and can thrive. Vicki works full-time at Trine University where she chairs the Department of Science. Vicki and her husband, Craig, are the parents of four children.

Tammy Harris

Courtney Wennemar

Two international adoptions not only gave Courtney and her husband, Bob, the gift of daughters from Haiti and Ethiopia, but these journeys further prompted Courtney’s calling to care for the fatherless, vulnerable and marginalized. Feeling led to serve, she accepted a volunteer role with Hope Grafted In, assisting with child sponsorship. In an effort to live out the Gospel as a family, she and her husband lead a church-based ministry that advocates for vulnerable children, and they volunteer as a host family for Safe Families. Courtney is a mother to five amazing children and an elementary school teacher.
