Charlene Fike and her husband Doug began ministering together while college students and have served together in pastoring, planting churches, launching a discipleship training program and mentoring students & missionaries. In 1995 they purchase a country inn in Virginia. Three Hills Inn is used to strategically host ministry leaders at minimal cost. This "inn with a mission" provides a place of rest and personal ministry for those who constantly give out and need to be replenished. Years ago Charlene made a goal to own five businesses by the time she was 40 years of age. Jesus, the ultimate entrepreneur, honored her youthful zeal teaching her through trial and error principles of Kingdom inspired business. Currently she networks with other business leaders to mentor emerging "marketplace ministers."
