New Wine, New Wineskins

Cooky Wall

Cooky Wall was first born into an extended Greek and French Canadian family in the San Francisco Bay Area of California; and 35 years later, she was reborn into the family of the Creator. In 1994, she and her husband received God’s call to Oregon, and so she retired as a small business owner and public official and left her family and friends. This transition has been huge for her, yet she says God has outwitted her at every turn. He has reignited her heart’s passion for racial healing and reconciliation, and continues to use the experiences He has given her, which include being immersed into the Lakota/Sioux culture on the Rosebud Reservation as well as traveling as the only White woman with a group of Black women to the antebellum South, to shape her perspectives and expand her theological categories. She says it’s pretty clear He has orchestrated this intersection with New Wine New Wineskins. She and her husband, Robert, enjoy every opportunity to “get on the road again” in their RV and spend time with their extended family in California.
