TESTIMONY I've walked with the Lord since childhood, and my relationship with Him has deepened over the years. After a near-death illness in 2012, I realized I wanted to spend every waking moment serving God. CALLING The Lord has placed me in various life circumstances, particularly with individuals facing mental health challenges.

My experiences have uniquely qualified me to address issues that arise at the intersection of mental health and spiritual warfare through Hope Renewed Ministries.
