INTERVIEW | Sonya Visor
Sonya, describe yourself for our visitors.
How do I describe me? Well, this is what others say: perfectionist, hyper, warm hearted and definitely a people person. I make people think that they have known me for years. I can go in a grocery store and just start talking to whoever is next to me. The person will walk away and think, Do I know you? I love to read, all time favorite pass time. I had to literally fast from reading to meet writing deadlines. I enjoy contemporary gospel and jazz.
In my ministry that the Lord has given me, I am drawn to women who are broken. I deal with real issues in Covenant Sisters a ministry at our church that is now open to the community. This ministry is for those who are tired of the “mask” – they need to take it off and be free to be who God created them to be.

INTERVIEW | Tiffany Warren
Tiffany, describe yourself for our visitors.
I’m a wife and mother of five. I love worship music like Martha Munizzi, Fred Hammond and Kirk Franklin. I also enjoy praise dancing and drama to the glory of God.
How do you find time to connect with God?
It can be hard when most of the time it seems like I hit the ground running everyday, but I make sure to listen to an inspirational word in the morning (Bishop T.D. Jakes or Pastor Paula White) and during the children’s naptime I just turn on my gospel music and reflect on the character of God. When I’m working on a novel I make an extra effort to read and study my Bible at least three times a week, because I want my writing to be in line with the Word of God.

Give Thanks!
Give Thanks!
by Kisha Green
As spring begins there isn’t a better time to reflect on where you have been but more importantly where you are going. Life is about choices and often times enough we tend to forget just that. As we get caught up in the things that we want to see happen, we forget that it actually requires an action better yet a plan to make that vision an definite reality. Read more
Concerning Faith
Concerning Faith
by Pastor Sam Livingston
Praise the name of Jesus!
Faith can be duplicated, demonstrated, get dilapidated but should never get outdated. Faith activates our movement throughout the Body of Christ. Think about it, we can not physically touch or see Jesus so our communication with him is based on our faith. Even if we could touch him physically, our results would still be based on our faith.
