I was grown up in a Christian home with my parents and 4 siblings  and we were taught the Christian faith, so at the age of 12 years I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior then I was baptized. I became a member of The Church of God of Prophecy and from then I have been a devoted Child of God.

It was very challenging in my teenage years having friends that did not accept Christ as their personal Savior and I had struggles however my family influence had helped me over many hurdles and I thank God for my parents who taught us well.

My favorite song over the years is Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding,and I have recognized that trusting God really pays off.

My sons Jethro 8 years and Zamar 5 years old came to Canada in 2009 of January to meet my husband Neil who came from June 2009.  After settling down I started searching for a place to worship. I have heard of churches but I asked God to show me the one that is fitting and so I went online and choose KGF, I did my research and was pleased. I started attended KGF in February 2009 then in September 2009 I got a job as Children Ministry Director at Grace Baptist Church, I was there for 5months then resigned and returned to KGF.

There are times I do not understand what God is doing in my life and I keep reminding him that whatever I do will affect my family but of course God knows that already.

I was appointed as part time Director for CEF (Child Evangelism Fellowship) for Kelowna on May 4th 2010 and I know God will help me to do the job I love so much, TEACHING CHILDREN and the greatest thing ever, his word. I love the Lord so much and I would like to focus mostly on ministering his word for the rest of my life span.
