Meet the Team

  • Lisa Johnson

    Executive Director

    Lisa Johnson is the Founder and Executive Director of Entrusted Houston, a ministry she launched in 2009 to serve children and families experiencing crisis. What began as a grassroots effort grew under her leadership into an established nonprofit in 2018, expanding its impact across the Houston area by providing essential resources to children and families connected to CPS. Lisa is passionate about mobilizing the community to meet tangible needs and restore dignity to vulnerable children. Her work is deeply shaped by both her faith and her personal experience as a mother of seven children, four of whom joined her family through foster care, giving her a unique and heartfelt perspective on the needs of children in the foster system.
