This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I try to share the Gospel with everyone I know. I want to win as many souls as I can for Christ’s kingdom and be an example through Christ as He leads by His Holy Spirit.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
To love the Lord with all of our heart, soul and might is the greatest commandment and the next is to love our neighbor as ourselves. We must love as Jesus loved and show mercy and compassion just as he did. We are to love one another as he has loved us!

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love to share the Word of God and am so excited to study and share with others the meaning of scripture and help others to understand what the spirit is saying to us through God’s Word.

[H]eart

1. I love prayer and devotion, and time spent alone with the Lord Jesus. I love time in His Word and going to church with my family to church to worship and be fed by God’s Word and be blessed in His presence.

2. I love being a wife and mother and doing the best to minister to my family with guidance and wisdom from the Holy Spirit.

3. Last, but not least, I love ministering to others in prayer and deed to the calling and fulfillment of the Will of God in my life.

All ages; I have a heart for people and am definitely a people person. I have worked with people of all ages. I worked in the nursery at churches. ( I have 5 children and 2 grandchildren) I have also held a Sunday school class of kindergarten through 2nd grade. I have teenagers and young adults, so very comfortable with that age. I have also worked in a nursing home ministry, ministering in song, testimony and prayer.

I feel I am called to be a prayer warrior and really desire to take our needs before God in prayer and fasting as the spirit leads. We as a church and the body of Christ should always be listening to hear His Spirit and be obedient to His Will in every area of our lives.

I’ve served on the committee helping organize events, such as plays, Christmas Tea, banquets, Jubilees, and many other events. I have worked in the kitchen during special events and dinners. Cleaned the church weekly for about 2 years. I have also done office work, such as attendance, filing, inventory, and weekly newsletters. I have also worked in the nursing home ministry.

I love scripture and have applied myself to know as much as I can about the Infallible Word of God, through the Holy Spirit and by the wonderful preachers and teachers the Lord has placed in my life. I love to sing and play the piano. I love to cook and bake. I also have computer and people skills.

I have taught Sunday school for kindergarten to 2nd grade.

[E]xperience

I grew up in church and was dedicated as a baby. I went to the altar and gave my heart to Jesus when I was 10 years old. I backslid for a period of time and rededicated my life to the Lord Jesus and have been serving Him ever since.

I attended Van Born Church of God as a baby and child. Then attended Dearborn Church of God for about 8 years. I attended Living Word Church of God for about 15 years. Throughout the years, at these churches, I have worked in Sunday school, been in the choir and done special singing. I’ve served on the committee helping organize events, such as plays, Christmas Tea, banquets, Jubilees, and many other events. I have worked in the kitchen during special events and dinners. Cleaned the church weekly for about 2 years. I have also done office work, such as attendance, filing, inventory, and weekly newsletters. I have also worked in the nursing home ministry.

I was in an abusive marriage where myself and my children were abused in several different ways and the marriage ended in divorce.

I had a miscarriage in 2013 and went thru a time of grief.

I have 2 brothers that almost died on heroin and both were in prison. It was very hard on my mom and our family.
