· I have a multi-faced background as I have been deeply involved in church ministry for many years. My professional background was in marketing, etc. (I made presentations at the Pentagon twice.)
· After my first marriage ended, I was privileged to become Minister of Christian Education/Outreach at Clearwater FL First Nazarene Church from 1990-1992 with Pastor Mark and Vanessa Lancaster.
· I was greatly blessed to marry Gene Williams in September 1992 (Gene, sadly, passed away in June 2013.) Between us, Gene and I have 7 children, 14 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren.
· Gene and I were Co-Founders/Directors of SHEPHERDS’ FOLD MINISTRIES that we began in1999 providing encouragement, affirmation, and renewal for pastors and families around the world. Dr. Brent Van Hook is now Director of SFM and is perpetuating this wonderful ministry with awesome leadership.
· Gene served as Pastor in Residence at Trevecca Nazarene University for two months each year for four years, counseling, and mentoring pastors and ministry students etc. I enjoyed working with him at TNU.

In May 2014 I was invited by BGEA to be the Kansas Field Representative for MY HOPE with Franklin Graham until I moved to Hendersonville TN in June 2016.

I was blessed to work with Mission Voice Network India from June-December 2017 and went to India for the fifth time in August 2017.
I have been to the Holy Land eleven times and enjoy leading pilgrimages there.
· I have been Associate Pastor for Evangelism and Connections at Memphis Grace Nazarene since February 2018 with Pastor Mark Lancaster. (I have come full circle since Clearwater FL!)
I am a Certified Personal Evangelism Trainer. Soul winning/discipleship is God’s call on my life.

SPEAKING TOPICS
A Few Speaking Topics
Some of my speaking topics
(Most of the following speaking topics/sessions are wrapped around Bible characters):
EXPECTING MIRACLES! (John 14:11) We should live on tiptoe—anticipating God’s miraculous intervention.
COUNT IT ALL JOY! (James 1:2) A challenge to embrace even the hard times in life because of the joy that awaits us.
THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS (II Chronicles 20) We do not have to fight our battles if we belong to the Lord.
FORGET THE FORMER THINGS (Isaiah 43:18) Getting past our past. The woman at the well. John 4
A NEW THING (Isaiah 43:19) Embracing life’s changes—new things---with joy and anticipation
CHANGE YOUR WORLD (John 4) Accepting God's mandate to be His change agents. (Soul-winning/Evangelism training)
THE END OF OURSELVES (Genesis 32:22-31) A challenge to truly surrender everything and give God control of our lives.
GOD OF THE SECOND CHANCE (Jonah, Joseph, Prodigal son, Woman taken in adultery) We can begin again!
HEART'S DESIRE (Psalm 37:4)---Personal testimony
CRUMBLED WALLS (Joshua 6) When we allow God to take control, He brings down the barriers that hinder us.
NO PRAYER IS EVER WASTED (Revelations 5:6-8) Our Father collects our prayers in golden bowls in the throne room of the Lamb. Our prayers are the fragrance/aroma of heaven!
SHE CAN’T EVEN PLAY THE PIANO! Pastor’s wives aren’t perfect! (Note: I taught this for four Billy Graham Schools of Evangelism)
UNSHAKABLE FAITH FOR SHAKY TIMES (Rahab)---NEED A FAITH LIFT??
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been---what you’ve done. It’s where you are now and where you go from here that matters.
GRACE EMBRACED (Woman who was caught in the act of adultery--John 1:11) Grace is a gift-unearned and undeserved.
A GENTLE WHISPER (Mary Magdalene--John 20:16; I Kings 19:18) We need to learn to be still and listen for God’s gentle whisper.
THE GREATEST GIFT---NO LESS THAN ME---Isaiah 9:6 God gave us His one and only Son. In return we give ourselves to Him. (Wrapped around my song “No Less Than Me”)
CHRISTIAN WOMEN’S CLUBS---STONECROFT MINISTRIES—I am a certified Stonecroft speaker. I share my testimony
