Beginning at age twelve, I have served in ministry for over twenty years while growing into leadership roles in children’s ministry, world missions, and discipleship. My experience includes inner-city missions in New York City, international ministry training in Africa, Europe, and the U.S., and leading teams to equip next-generation leaders. I am currently a World Missions Ambassador, committed to raising up leaders, training children’s ministers, and advancing the gospel wherever I am sent.

Born in poverty in West Virginia, I always knew I wanted to be a world champion. With determination, sacrifice, and a strong work ethic, God opened doors I never imagined. I was ranked in the Top 10 in women’s professional boxing, signed with Chuck Norris’ World Combat League, became a two-time world champion in sport jiu-jitsu, and earned a third-degree black belt. I’ve trained with world-class athletes, appeared on TV. Yet the greatest victory came when I surrendered every title to follow Jesus.  My dreams collided with God’s dreams, and I realized He was calling me to champion His name to the world. Now my passion is to reach the last, the least, and the lost, carrying the hope of Jesus to nations and saying, “Here am I, Lord—send me.”  Now I use those skills to teach, serve, and empower others.

One experience that impacted me was when I was given the opportunity to lead a children’s ministry team to Zambia to train leaders and hold a Kids Fest. On the second day, the Lord redirected my teaching, and I obeyed. As I shared what He gave me, the presence of God fell and the Holy Spirit moved powerfully. Talk about miracles, signs, and wonders! Lives were forever changed supernaturally, and I heard Him say, “This is what I called you to do.” I have never felt the power and presence of God like I did that day. I’m ready for more. The harvest surely is ready.
