I am blessed to say that I have many accomplishments such as Parent of the Year Pinellas County Head Start, Policy Council Chairperson/Head Start, Certificate in Mass Media Arts at UCLA, and an AA degree in Journalism. Although all were a part of the journey, it was when I was called out of darkness into His marvelous light that transformation began.
2 Corinthians 4: 5-6 (MSG) says: (5) Remember, our Message is not about ourselves; we’re proclaiming Jesus Christ, the Master. All we are is messengers, errand runners from Jesus for you. (6) It started when God said, “Light up the darkness!” and our lives filled up with light as we saw and understood God in the face of Christ, all bright and beautiful.
The foundation of Empowered 2 Inspire is built upon separating the light from the dark and empowering individuals by imparting the Word of God into their lives. For so long, we walk in darkness out of a lack of knowledge of who we are in Christ. It is not for any of us to condemn, because Our Lord and Savior did not come to condemn, but to save. When God said “let there be light” this is symbolic of the way God manifests Himself in our lives.
Through the anointed and powerful teaching of Bishop Randy White & Senior Pastor, Pastor Paula White; Visionaries of Without Walls International Church, God has equipped me with the strength to stand and the power to persevere. Pastor Paula White has prepared me with six weeks of hands on training through her Leadership by Design Leadership Course. It was through the shepherding and evangelism of this man and woman of God that I launched to the next level of the Master Pastor Internship Program, from which I graduated in May of 2008. Pastor Shauna Jackson of Oil of Joy Ministries has poured countless hours of prophetic insight, divine counseling and just pure love into me.
I am an ordained Minister of The Gospel and believe that God has raised me up for such a time as this to mend the broken hearted and set the captives free.
