Our Team

Our Staff

Pure Heart Ministries is led by a dedicated team committed to helping others find freedom and healing through Christ.


Rev. Jim and Debbie Venice

Founders and Directors

Jim and Debbie Venice founded Pure Heart Ministries in 2002 after Jesus mightily delivered Jim from a homosexual lifestyle and then wondrously healed their marriage. For more than 5 years, they were involved with First Stone Ministries in Oklahoma City before God moved them back to their home region to begin this ministry.

Jim works with men and men’s groups, parents and their teens, and married couples.

Debbie serves as Co-Director of the ministry.


Donna Thornhill, LPC

Women’s Counselor

Donna Thornhill is a Licensed Professional Counselor who serves as the women’s minister at our O’Fallon, MO location. She provides counseling services for women struggling with sexual and relational brokenness.


Growing Team

We believe the Lord will add more staff members as the ministry grows.
