[E]xperience

I was homeless and I was in downtown Los Angeles on the streets drug addicted and prayed for God to help me and I will serve him and fast foward 5 years later I was in a relationship and went to Rhode island . as soon as I moved here I was dumped a week into my being in Rhode Island and I was broken inside scared young and had nowhere to go so I went to the mental heath dept. and thought I was going crazy I spoke with a lady and she took me to her desk and I told her my life story and why I ended up in Rhode Island and I asked god 5 years past that to send me a person who is real christian I didnt want a phoney. I asked for a sign and the sign was as I spoke to this woman she sounded so wise she reminded me of my favorite poet Mya Angelou and I asked her if she was a church lady and she said yes she was . their was an outward glow about her and she invited me to church two weeks later from that meeting I went to church and was saved in a baptist church. that was my beginning.

Coast christian fellowship Torrance california I served food pantry ministry. and convolesant ministry.

Faith Fellowship in Newport Rhode Island served on the worship team and co youth leader.

Cross Point Church in Newport Rhode Island. I served on the prayer intercessory prayer team , and worship team for a season, sunday school teachers helper.

I also had a neighbor who showed me what compassion was I went to her once or twice told he my problems and she prayed for me.

Being homeless myself helped me to understand others sufferings

and being a survivor of the Los Angeles streets and victim of rape.
