Lebanese by birth, Roula received her Associate Degree in Accounting and Finance in Lebanon in 1999. After finishing her degree, Roula entered the corporate world and worked passionately to achieve her goals of being promoted inside the company from secretarial position to head of workshop and later to being responsible for the accounting department and assisting the Operation Manager with facilitating for day-to-day administrative and operational needs.
From 2008 to 2012 Roula joined the team at Elam Ministries and served as the Database Coordinator. While at Elam she supported Donor Relations, accounting, database management, conference planning and administration.
Roula is the great woman behind her man. She believed in his dream and trusted the vision and mission he received from the Lord. She encouraged her husband to take a huge step of faith and leave the ministry he was involved in to obey the calling and start Step Forward. Roula is now running the Operation and Financial departments.
Roula has been married to her wonderful husband and best friend, Michel Khalil. They live in Duluth, Georgia with their two beautiful girls, Christie and Caitlyn.
