The Imagine Initiative

Dear Friends,

I am so grateful for each of you and the role you have played in the story of The Imagine Initiative. Because of your prayers, generosity, and partnership, we have seen God do more than we could have asked or imagined in our schools and community.

As I shared recently, this year will mark a leadership transition for Imagine. With that in mind, we are officially beginning the process of hiring our next Executive Director.
This is an important and exciting step as we look toward the future. We believe the right leader will build on the strong foundation that has been established and help carry the vision forward in ways that continue to bring help, hope, and healing to schools across Lee County and beyond.

I would love your help in this process.

Attached you will find a link to the job description for the Executive Director role. If you know someone who would be a strong fit, please feel free to share it with them or encourage them to apply. We are praying for a leader who loves the Lord, is passionate about the local church, and is committed to building meaningful, lasting partnerships with schools.

More than anything, we ask that you would join us in prayer. Please pray for wisdom for our board, clarity throughout the process, and for the person God is calling into this role.

Thank you again for being such an important part of The Imagine Initiative. I am incredibly thankful for you and look forward to all that God will continue to do.

With gratitude,
Rhonda Dahlin�Founder and Executive Director�The Imagine Initiative

Hi Imagine Initiative Family,


As you read above, Rhonda Dahlin let us know that she had been approached about an opportunity with another organization. After prayerful consideration, she sensed God leading her to step into this new season and, as a result, transition out of her role with The Imagine Initiative in August.

While this news was unexpected, we are grateful for the thoughtful and healthy way this transition has unfolded. Rhonda has faithfully led The Imagine Initiative from the very beginning, and her leadership has helped shape a mission that is now impacting schools, churches, and communities in meaningful ways.

As a board, we want you to know that we are committed to stewarding this next season well. The mission of The Imagine Initiative remains strong, and we are beginning the process of identifying the next Executive Director who will build on this foundation and help lead the organization forward.

Thank you for your continued prayers, partnership, and support. We are grateful for each of you and for the role you play in bringing help, hope, and healing to schools and their surrounding communities.

With gratitude,

The Board of Directors
The Imagine Initiative

Hello friends,

Stepping out in faith four years ago, God gave me Ephesians 3:20–21 as a promise that every dream I carried for what was possible, He would fulfill far beyond what I could see, accomplishing immeasurably more than even my biggest, God sized vision. I started The Imagine Initiative, believing that as churches partnered with schools, God would do more than we could ever ask or imagine.

And He has.

Through the ministry of The Imagine Initiative, He has opened school doors, mobilized churches, met family needs, encouraged school staff, and brought people to faith in Him.

It is with by sadness and joy that I share that in August I will be stepping down from my position as Founder and Director of Imagine.

God has presented my husband and me with a new step of faith in ministry. We will be joining the team at Care for Pastors, a national organization that walks alongside pastors, their spouses, and their children. This ministry has been a personal source of support for me over the past nine years as I have navigated the highs and lows of ministry life. I am excited to step into a role where I can serve alongside my husband and care for ministry families as they faithfully serve churches across the country.

At the same time, I am deeply saddened to step away from Imagine. I never dreamed that the Lord would allow me to birth and grow a ministry that would impact so many. I love working with our school and church partners, dreaming about and implementing ways to serve our most at risk students and families, and helping the church live out the gospel in our community. These have been some of the most joy filled years of ministry I have ever experienced, and I am incredibly grateful for each of you.

The best is yet to come for The Imagine Initiative and for the work being done through our church partnerships in schools. God is not finished here, and I look forward to seeing all that He continues to do in and through this ministry.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

Rhonda Dahlin
