Diana Spann
Diana grew up in a small town in Texas, but moved to Dallas in 1980. This year she returned to her roots as she moved back to the town of her youth to care for her mother’s home. Diana graduated with a bachelor’s in accounting and a master’s in counseling. She is both a CPA and Licensed Professional Counselor.
While working as a CPA Diana traveled as a volunteer with an organization partnering with her church to South Sudan. Working alongside their national partner she was a part of planting churches, starting a school and community development. In 2015 Diana left the accounting world to work full-time traveling to South Sudan to be a part of training and equipping leaders.
In 2013 civil war broke out in the new nation of South Sudan. When in country the request from pastors and leaders were for help with trauma. The leaders were overwhelmed with their own trauma and the needs of those they lead.
In response Diana is now a Master Facilitator with the Trauma Healing Institute. As the need for this training increased God led Diana to serve with SIL as part of their SIL International Global Trauma Healing Services team. In 2020 the increase in requests to collaborate with organizations globally and locally led Diana to leave SIL. As the pandemic has raised the awareness of the need to bring healing to heart wounds (trauma), Diana wants to use her own journey of grief to bring Shalom to individuals, organizations and churches. She is passionate about participating with God to undo all the evil that has been done.
