Dr. Davon Simpson has been my Pastor since 2019. I am an Elder, Minister, Teacher, and Evangelist in my church and local nursing home facilities.

I was ordained an Evangelist in 1998 and licensed to minister on January 29, 2012. Each year, at my present church, it is mandatory we attend refresher courses to reinstate our minister's license.

I am the founder of Esther's Mission [An Evangelistic and Helps Ministry] in 2003 and since then, I have worked with the Activities Department in local nursing homes. I teach weekly Bible Study and do Worship Service on Sundays. I created a ministry called 'Pretty Nails' but due to COVID, it no longer exists.

I enrolled in The Touch of Love Theological College (Accredited) in 2019 and graduated with a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Christian education and a Doctor of Philosophy in Theology in 2021. Prior to school, I attended many Christian Conferences with the church my late husband and I attended. We were ministers, attended many classes on Christianity, and received college credits for each class.

Before enrolling in school, each minister at our church attended The Jacob's Wells Ministerial Alliance founded by Dr. Davon Simpson for six months of weekly classes (Old and New Testaments, All Religious Ordinances, Exegesis and Eisegesis, Pulpit Etiquette's, and Ministerial Attire, Evangelism, Time Management in the Pulpit, etc.) I am a born-again Believer who demonstrates God's love abroad through the Holy Spirit, especially in the Marketplace.

I retired from my job as a Chemical Laboratory Technician for 33.5 years. I led many to Christ and encouraged and prayed for many people daily.

At present, I am taking a course for a Life Coaching Certification.
