Share your heart for the area of ministry you are currently leading?

Refresh truly is the heart of this ministry not just a name.  I have such a longing to see our Women refreshed, restored, revived, replenished and renewed in Spirit, Soul and Body by God alone. No matter what season of life, what circumstances we are facing, what obstacles we have to overcome;  No matter how old or young we are, how educated or uneducated we are, how rich or poor we are that we would find refreshing inthe presence of the Lord.  That as believers of Christ each of us would long to spend time in the Word, in prayer and in fellowship with others.  Out of the overflow of our hearts and lives that we would bring streams of refreshing to others.

How long have you been at Abundant Life?

My family and I have been at ALCC since September of 2012.

Tell us a little about your family...

We are a busy family who love God and love eachother.  5 people and 2 dogs.  My husband and I met in 1998 at bible school and married in 1999.  We have lived on the mission field and served in many areas of ministry over the years.  We have two daughters and one son who are such blessings from the Lord. We love watching our kids in any activities and sports they choose to do, yes, we are probably the loudest cheering parents at events and that is not always appreciated by our kids.

What are you passionate about?

I am passionate about Jesus first and foremost.  This passion of course is the foundation of everything, my love for my husband and children, calling to minister hope and healing to marriages, anointing to preach the truth of God's word wherever God sends me, desire to see people set free from lies, addictions, hurts and offenses, longing to share the good news of Jesus Christ with anyone and everyone, anywhere and everywhere.

Share some fun information with us...

* I love to travel!  Missions and vacations... near or far... Hear I am Lord, send me.

* I don't like clutter but can't part with my books.  When we sold everything and moved oversees I would not get rid of any of my books, so we packaged them up and put them in storage.
