Jeff Myers retired from FirstData Corporation (now Fiserv), a Fortune 250 leader in payments and technology, where he led the government sector and worked closely with state and local agencies, particularly in Health and Human Services.

After retiring, Jeff felt called to serve a Kingdom-focused nonprofit and joined Fully Furnished Ministries’ Board in 2015 through relationships with existing members. Drawn to the mission of helping families emerging from crisis, he saw potential to expand the ministry’s reach by engaging more volunteers.

He became Board Chairman in 2018 and has since led a rebranding initiative to enhance the volunteer experience and deepen impact on the families served. Jeff brings over 25 years of leadership experience to his role, helping guide the ministry in stewarding time, talent, and treasure while staying focused on its mission—to be the hands and feet of Christ through the gift of furniture.

Originally from Indiana, Jeff enjoys traveling and cheering on his favorite hometown sports teams.

Born and raised in Long Island, NY, John Dance was one of nine children in a vibrant Pentecostal family. He earned a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Niagara University in 1980 before serving eight years in the U.S. Army, where he held multiple leadership roles and rose to the rank of Captain.

Cindy brings a lifelong passion for woodworking, inspired by her father’s mentorship. She owned a custom frame shop and later ran a small business repurposing and refinishing furniture, including selling paint products for furniture projects.

Looking for a way to use her skills to serve others, Cindy connected with Fully Furnished Ministries through one of its partners. She now leads the Restoration Team, offering insight and hands-on expertise for the furniture donated to the ministry.

John now focuses on volunteer engagement, working to ensure that each serve day is impactful. He’s motivated by a desire to help others flourish and sees the ministry as a tangible way to make a difference and share the love of Jesus. Serving provides perspective, connection, and the chance to grow alongside others with a heart for helping.
