Accomplishments
Recently God led me to this book, “ The boy who met Jesus.” Written by Immaculee Ilibagiza. I reached out to Immaculee to invite her to speak on a whim, a nudge from the Holy Spirit, which turned into a yes from her to fly from NY to come speak in Alabama! I coordinated everything from marketing, advertising, going on local news networks, ticket sales, communications with business managers, many churches, and church leaders. This event took place 7/23/2025 and was successful and joyful! Many people piled into our church for a night of Prayer, Praise, and Worship! Immaculee brought the Holy Spirit into our church sharing her testimony and inspiring everyone in the room! She is a NY Times Bestseller, a 1994 Rwanda Genocide Survivor with an incredible story of forgiveness, hope, and love! It was an honor to host and plan this event! Immaculee, her daughter and my family are now friends and communicate a few days a week via phone! God is always so good!
