Q: How did you come to know the Lord?
A: I accepted Christ as my personal Savior when I was 14 years old in a revival at Broken Arrow Baptist Church in Coal City. 

Q: How have you been involved in church through the years?
A: I have served as church clerk. I have been a Discipleship Training director and a Vacation Bible School director. I have also been a WMU director in my local churches for 21 years. I have also been a churchwide missions coordinator. I am currently serving on the St. Clair Association WMU leadership team, which I have been serving for 10 years. I am also a Mission Friends director and teacher.

Q: What have you gotten from those ministries?
A: It has been a tremendous joy to me to serve Christ through my local churches. I cannot express in words the blessings and joys that have been mine. My desire is to give my life in thanksgiving to Christ and to glorify Him every day of my life by serving and ministering to others.

Q: What difference has being a Christian made in  your life?
A: It has made all the difference in the world. I am so thankful that I was saved at an early age so that I could have the joy of being a Christian and of serving my Lord, Whom I love so much.
