Share Your Heart 4 Ministry and Testimony:

I grew up going to church and at a very young age knowing that God was real and believing in Jesus, but like the rich young ruler, there were certain things and freedoms( really bondages )that I just wasn't willing to give up to truly be in relationship with God. It wasn't until I was sick of being fearful, insecure, lonely, and in a series of unfruitful sexually promiscuous relationships, that I began to seek God out seriously with my whole heart.. Well to be honest I began to yeild to Him chasing me and seeking me out.. It was when a bold woman of God told me flat out that all my church going had made me no more of a Christian than somebody just having the name Jesus made them a savior. 1 John 2;3-6 is what she read to me and it changed me- cut me deep and from there I took on the journey to truly be in a relationship with Christ. Because of that my heart for ministry is to intro people to a God that is tangible, accessible, one that loves them and is worthy of their obedience and trust because His plans for them for us are good and perfect. Ina ll that I do whether rhyming on a mic, teching in the classroom, spending time with youth, or just chilling, i want to reflect the beauty of god's love and His holiness.

Why do you want to join the CFRN?

I want to join CFRN because I feel like unity is so essential to the forwarding of God's Kingdom agenda. There is nothing better than sisters coming together for the purpose of building one another up, supporting each other so that the world can know the love and truth of God. I feel like being apart of a network of sisters with likeminded goals and aspirations will be awesome!

If an unbeliever wanted to know more about receiving salvation, how would you lead them to Jesus Christ, and what verses would you provide?

Without the gift of a relationship with God, all mankind is doomed to a life of seperation from God and when we die, that seperation will then turn into a sentence of eternal damination. So why is that a big deal? Think about it in terms of our earthly relationships with our parents. We look like our parents, have certain gifts and talents that come from them, even certain habits. When we as humans know our parents it better helps us as individuals to know and understand ourselves. Without a relationship with God we will never truly get to know who we are because God is our ultiamte father. He created mankind with a void that can only be filled by HIm.
A relationship with God is salvation from feeling empty and spending eternity tormented and seperated from God.
When God created us - mankind -we weren't seperated from Him, but what did seperate us and still does to this day is sin. Sin came into earth by the first man- Adam. Romans. 3:12- explains that through Adam all men come into the earth with sin and fall short of getting to be with God,. The wages of sin is death. Rom 6:23- So everytime we disobey God we are supposed to be sentenced to death in order to repay Him, but God knew that this was a price that we couldn't afford, so he paid our debt for us with the death and resurrection of Jesus, his only son, who was without sin. John 3:16 And the only way to have a relationship with God our father is by accepting this gift this debt cancelation of jesus Christ and in believing Jesus allowing your mind to be transformed rom. 12:1-2 and ang going through the way- John. 14:6-7
2 Cor. 5:16-21
