As a child, my grandmother took me to church, and I fervently prayed to stay out of trouble. However, my teenage and early adult years were marked by a lack of connection with the Lord. Before accepting Jesus Christ as my Savior, my heart was void of love, and I grappled with confusion over the world's unfortunate events, harboring unanswered questions that even led me to contemplate suicide. Everything changed one day when a sudden desire to read the Bible gripped me, leading me on a journey back to the God of my grandmother.

​

In 1994, I met and married my husband, a Christian with two children from a previous marriage. As I delved into the world of faith, I faced the necessity of baptism before marriage. The process of reading the Bible and falling in love with its teachings culminated in my re-baptism in 1996. God began addressing my struggles with love, particularly towards others, using my husband as a vessel for valuable lessons. Despite his challenging nature, I came to understand that God molded him precisely the way He wanted.

In 2013, God directed me to evangelism school to address my lingering issues with love. The seed of love planted when my son was born in 1994 had grown, though God had to reprimand me when the affection for my child edged into idolatry. Yet, I had to confront the reality that loving gestures and true love are distinct. It took me over two decades of marriage to grasp this, but once I did, God infused me with unconditional love, bringing peace and joy regardless of external circumstances.

My journey with the Lord has fostered a profound love for prayer, prompting me to share my learnings with others, both in person and on social media. However, my enthusiasm sometimes gets ahead of God's timing, and He gently reminds me to "Wait!"

​

During a late-night prayer session, God revealed a shocking truth about cursed blood from a childhood transfusion. In my mid-forties, I grappled with the realization that demonic influences had hindered me for four decades. God's reassuring promise echoed, "I got you now."

​

In 2018, during devotion, God called me into pastoral ministry, a calling I accepted with eagerness. Yet, amidst the whirlwind of life, I momentarily forgot, only to find myself preaching in unexpected places. God's gentle reminder came during an unexpected encounter, urging me to embrace my role as a preacher with humility, saying, "Or you could just say, 'Praise the Lord.'"

​

Prophecies unfolded during a prayer outreach, pointing towards the establishment of a church. God confirmed this divine plan in the silence of a 2 am prayer session, stating, "You're recruiting for your church." Though my initial attempt failed, I realized it wasn't about my efforts; it was God's plan unfolding. My diverse ministry experiences include Children's Ministries, Women's Ministries, Bible work, Literature Evangelism, and Prayer Warrior.

To all members and visitors of JLE Prayer Warrior Church, remember that together, through prayer, we can overcome any challenge.
