Bio:
Specializing in Global Brand and Communications Management, #barefacedcreative co-owner Amber Weigand-Buckley is a member of the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association (AWSA) and has over 20 years of award-winning media experience. The publications she has served have received over 16 awards from the Evangelical Press Association.
She was named the 2015 AWSA Member of the Year, and this month named one of the 2018 Evangel University Distinguished Communications Alumni of the Year. Currently, Amber serves clients in many capacities including her role as Marketing, Communications and Brand Director for the Right to the Heart Ministry Network, which includes AWSA.
Amber is the founding editor and Art Director of Leading Hearts magazine (which has received an EPA award every year of its 5 years of publication) and serves Asia Pacific Media (a ministry of AGWM) as a fundraising consultant as well as editor and art director for their multi-media e-mag MISSION magazine.
In partnership with AP Media, this summer she traveled to Asia Pacific Theological Seminary in Baguio, Philippines, to teach media missionaries from Myanmar, Indonesia, India, and the Philippines how to launch Christian publications at their home churches.
Amber has the heart to help others not only launch, but put their best foot forward in the ministry that God has called each one to serve.
Amber has been married to Brit-native, Philip, for over 24 years and they have 3 daughters: Saffron (18), Imogen (15) and Penelope (11). In their spare time, her family enjoys doing Reptile education in Springfield, Missouri and their surrounding communities as members of the Southwest Missouri Herpetological Society.
“Passion for ministry to young and old alike is evident when Amber begins to share what’s in her heart. Her sense of conviction will inspire you to yearn for a deeper walk. Challenging you to pursue God’s purpose in your life and unleash the gifts God has given you to go. She creatively encourages you to go out into the world, meet people on their level and present to them the God of the here and now. She uses her background as an author to give animated illustrations and portrayals of her personal life experiences and skillfully weaves them into a tapestry of truth.”
