I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart at the age of 5. I remember the minister in children’s church telling me that Jesus loved me and would never stop. I wanted that and asked Him into my heart. From that moment, God used me to minister to people in my family, my mother first and then cousins and friends.
I started teaching Sunday school at the age of 7 and preached my first sermon at 12. I would hear people telling me how awesome the work of God would be in my life. I heard countless times how powerful of a woman I would be in God’s kingdom. None of that made much sense to me though. I just wanted to serve God in a way that would please Him. I didn’t want to be fake and I didn’t want to be part time. My testimony is not one of perfection, but it is one of consistency. From the day of my salvation, I have never walked away from my Savior.
I went to college and was used by God to teach and to counsel while in school. It was there that He showed me I was an intercessor. As I continued to obey Him, God made my calling clear. I was to reveal His heart to mankind. The ways in which I would do that would change and mature over time.
I currently operate in the gifts of the prophet, pastor and teacher. I am an author, playwright and business woman.
I pastor alongside my husband at House of Healing Outreach in Elyria, OH. I have also been called to minister to women. I counsel the body of Christ in their issues and in their maturity. I believe that my gifts will be needed until the Body of Christ reaches its full measure in Christ…until then I will continue to strive for the full manifestation of my call.
