WHICH OTHER WOMEN IN
MINISTRY HAVE INSPIRED YOU?
My grandmother is an inspiration to me. I’ve
watched her from a very young age serve and
be committed to ministry as an evangelist. I
watched how she presented herself in ministry
with her tone, her presence, her dress, her
servitude, loyalty and faith in God.
My mother is also a woman whom I admire. She
exemplifies how it is to be a praying mother, wife
and grandmother. Her poise and style has
influenced me dramatically.
WHAT IS THE HARDEST THING
ABOUT BEING A WOMAN IN
MINISTRY?
It’s difficult to not be categorized and branded by
those in church. You have to make sure that you
live your truth as God has intended and not be
sucked into the crowd of today’s definition of
women in ministry/church. Your character and
class is everything. People will always remember
and recognize you by what you portray.
HOW DO YOU OVERCOME
MINISTRY OBSTACLES THAT ARE
DIRECTLY RELATED TO YOU
BEING A WOMAN IN MINISTRY?
I outlive it and push through it. I do my best to
exemplify God in every way possible. Everything
isn’t as easy as it looks but when faced with
adversity, I try not to allow it to knock me off my
square. I identify the issue and seek God to help
me overcome that place in my life.
HAVE THESE OBSTACLES, AT ANY
TIME, CAUSED YOU TO QUESTION
YOUR FAITH AND/OR YOUR
CALLING?
It has at times, but God reminded me in so many
ways of who I was and my purpose.
WHAT IS THE EASIEST THING
ABOUT MINISTRY?
Being a servant. Having a servant’s heart is my
top priority.
WHAT DEGREES DO YOU
CURRENTLY HOLD?
I have a Bachelor of Arts in political science. I
also have a Master of Business Administration
with a concentration in Public Administration. I
am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in
Theology and Biblical Studies.
DOES YOUR CHURCH PROVIDE
TRAINING SPECIFIC FOR WOMEN
IN MINISTRY?
My Bishop is very hands on with training those
who are in leadership. Especially teaching the
women how to effectively serve and lead in
ministry.
