In 2019 the Lord gave her the vision to connect the Church and Mental Health as a ministry. It is
her desire to see people become WHOLE, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. It is
important that we minister to the WHOLE man!. For the past three years she has hosted the
Wellness Weekend in the following areas: 2019 Detroit, MI; 2020 Virtual due to Covid-19, and in
2021 Indianapolis, Indiana.
 

She is standing on this principle in Psalm 32:8 “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” She prays daily for guidance and direction. The bible has
commanded us to go into the hedges and highways to compel them to come. It is her deepest
desire to see souls for the Kingdom! Exodus 4:12 “Now therefore go, and I will be with thou
mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.”
