After 25 years of marriage‒ a 15-month season of oppression proved to be life-changing. My husband’s ordeal provided us first-hand insight into depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and instantaneous deliverance.

Factoring in the details of the ordeal, including the fact that life had generally been going fine‒ we concluded that the torment’s only feasible origin was spiritual. Yet that made no sense to us, given our Christian background… so we were left hanging and praying.

Eventually, prophetic insights provided clues as to the spiritual business required for deliverance, which my husband eagerly began tackling. And when completed, the demons manifested leading to instantaneous deliverance. The recurring dreams I had experienced at the beginning of our marriage began to make sense. Since then, our inside-knowledge concerning spiritual battle has been a resource to many.

After my husband was set free, we were left with many questions. And we came to feel that all those years in churches had taught us a lot, but still left us lacking and even misinformed in some areas. The time had come to widen our spiritual education‒and since a second onslaught of dreams ensued‒ gaining deeper insight into the spiritual realm topped the list. So, our quest for truth led to years of prophetic training and seminary enrollment.

My husband’s heart for those in need was always apparent, as evidenced by his BA in Sociology. So, it was natural for us to accept chaplain and co-pastor positions at an inner-city recovery program and outreach to the hungry. This allowed him to advocate on behalf of veterans, x-offenders, the homeless, and those in recovery‒ in addition to our spiritual ministry there.

And when the opportunity arose to take dream interpretation, prayer, and prophetic ministry to the streets, we jumped on it‒ partnering with a group that fed the hungry weekly across the street from a rescue mission. We were warmly received, with the conversations invariably productive. It’s an exciting way to demonstrate love, bring practical insight, and dispense hope to the hurting.

After training a prophetic group at a large and younger contemporary church, we found our way back “home” because the call on our lives to join hands with the African-American community always remained relentless. Starting at the turn to the 21st century, we have enjoyed serving in various leadership positions in a number of denominational black churches.

Eventually, we earned Doctorates of Ministries Degrees and began teaching courses and leading a prophetic group in that church until we were called to co-pastor a 20-year old church in need of growth.

Both lovers of music, my husband and I met in a music store. The son of a local pianist celebrity‒ he’s an accomplished jazz and gospel drummer, playing professionally or studio-recording from time to time, and enjoying the recordings of great musicians on most days.

I obtained my BA in Choral Music Education, and have taught in several schools, a theater company, and privately. While serving as a church choir director in a number of churches, I’ve had the privilege of leading both traditional choirs and black-gospel choirs. The Christmas musicals and prophetic improvisational skits I facilitated were especially exhilarating. We persist at enjoying jazz and gospel music.

I highly esteem beauty‒ picturesque surroundings, pleasing aromas, good food, powerful music, and a good marriage… while my husband shares all that with me, and finds ways to laugh daily. Together we enjoy travel‒ with my prophetic dreams depicting our RV as a set of vibes with an American flag mounted on the back.

We brag 48 years of marriage, 5 remarkable children, and 15 grandchildren- including 2 sets of twins!
