Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I enjoy working with groups who support and encourage women especially single moms. I enjoy working with and visiting senior citizens. I love youth activities and have a passion for teaching.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

I still see women having to compete in church. I believe there is a great need to teach women new and old Christians the expectations and what a Godly woman looks like. I hear conversations at church about buying the most expensive clothes or who has the most excellent children etc. While I am not legalistic I do believe and have. a strong conviction that we should be set apart and that means our speech and dress should reflect that.

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

It started with a book of Bible studies and a few times to vacation Bible school. When I was 11 and my mom remarried we joined a church. I was saved at 12 but didn’t have anyone to disciple me. It took many crooked roads but now I understand more and live a more Christ centered life.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

I have served in a homeless ministry at Bayside Church in California and New life church. I also helped document church activities on social media and through photography, writing and in the church office. I also went to downtown Sacramento on my now on Sunday afternoons to give out Bibles and pray with the homeless.

I am currently involved with a single mom’s ministry and production team at Stonewater church.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Vacation Bible school was a big impact. It not introduced me to the Bible but it appealed to my writing and creative side.

Chosen for the school newspaper. I was always invisible and I attended a large school to be chosen to write by my peers was a big turning point in my life.

Becoming a mother and grandmother.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

I grew up in an abusive household with a dad who had PTSD. I am from a broken home and I was a latch key kid.

In my teen years I grew up in an abusive home that was supposed to be a Christian home.

I have had to ask for help financially and when I was first divorced I had to be on welfare.
