Your personal biography(myself) about your life,how you started and where you are now in life:

I received The Lord Jesus into my heart at the age of 8 while attending special meetings at a Mennonite Church in Roaring Spring. Pa. Later, I became member of an Independent Bible Church . I met my future husband, Paul, at the tender age of 14, he was 16. While attending the youth meetings at my church, he trusted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour.... Four yrs. later we became members, and were married in 1963. During the 28 yrs.Of ministering in this church, we dedicated and reared our our 3 children. Also a portion of these yrs, were spent attending and graduating from the Altoona Bible Institute with a Certified Document for Completed Studies of Old and New Testament; also received a Certificate on Childhood and young adolesence Training. Later, Paul was ordained through Altoona Bible Inst. in Our home church. Later, he Pastored a little community church for 5 yrs. during which time, I worked with C.E.F and conducted the programs for children and youth in the community and church. Also, I worked with the Music and formed a ladies trio, called," The Rainbow Singers" We did much singing and ministering in other churches as well as our own. After 5 yrs, we turned the pastorate over to a Deacon, who lived in the community and was of great assistance to our work there.I must confess that this man was ordained, by God, and not man......After 6 months, we returned to our former home church. After several months, we were once more involved as before with the church's activities and programs. The Pastor who was there for 25 yrs.then, retired because of illness. It was a great loss to everyone, and the church went through much change. We remained there for 5 more yrs........For reasons too lengthly to explain, we left this church, and attended a neighboring Grace Brethren Church. While attending this church (for about 2yrs,) However,an issue came about concerning the doctrine of water baptism. Without causing damage, or division to the church, we decided it was best to returned to our former church. Meanwhile, through my ministry of singing in various Assembly Of God and other Charasmatic Churches, I became exposed to the teaching concerning the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Also, our daughter (Dana) met and married Todd Jameson, whose father was the Pastor of "New Covenant Christian Fellowship Church".( full Gospel & charasmatic) ....However, Paul and John, (Todd's father) together performed the wedding ceremony. It was quite an event ! Needless to say, this presented doctrinal issues with the Independent Bible Church where Paul served as a teacher and a board member (Deacon) This is where there are things I just do not wish to talk about. It was then that I began to attend church with our daughter( without any objection from Paul,) but he choose to stay where he was and still is today.
In 1984, during a time of ministering I received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. However, this is when it became an issue between Paul and I, (not to mention my entire family !) After much prayer and discussion of this doctrinal issue, he could not believe that this baptism was for this time of the church.(I at one time believed this and taught it as well !...Thank God he heard my cry to HIM for understanding and faith to believe and receive the Babtism of the Precious Holy Spirit ) However, as hard as it was, he remained at the church and he had no objection to my attending New Covenant Fellowship. We are still a family, although our children are all married now, and we have 4 Grandchildren, We attend seperate churches for the past 24 yrs ! We have been through many, many hard times , but, we do not get into the discussion of this doctrine very often, because it only causes strife, and I refuse to allow strife to reign in our home...I love him very much still, and I am believing that one day he will have the scales fall from his eyes and the veil will come down that is over his heart..............AMEN and AMEN
Praise and Glory unto HIM !
At this present date, I am attending Faith Assembly of God in Roaring Spring. Pastor Jameson retired from New Covenant, and moved to Texas, after oneyear, the assembly was relocated in another area in Pa. which, unfortunately, and sadly, was too far me travel. But they are still doing very well ! Praise God. )
Also, I attend Kenneth Copeland's meeting in Washington D.C. where Dana and Todd has moved ! God is at work for me ! As far as ministering at present?????????
I wait upon Holy Spirit to lead me to places and events, where he connects me to the one, or ones that He desires for me to minister to, through His
loving counsel.
I love working with Missions, so, Paul and I became involved with a young Indian Pastor, David Shadrach, and his wife, Hepzibah, and their newly-born daughter, Judith Deborah Shadrach , from India......... They calls us ....MUM and DAD. We correspond on the internet , they show us pictures of their ministry, and ask only for our prayers for many situations there.
