I was born and raised in Nigeria, West Africa. Though I was brought up in a loving family, I was divided in my beliefs. My father was an idol worshipper while my mother was a Christian. On the one hand, I was raised and brought up as a strong Catholic who regularly attended mass and practiced the tenets I was taught. On the other hand, I enjoyed the rituals my father performed during his sacrifices to idols in various festivals during which several animals were killed. I looked forward to these festivals and the merry making and jubilation that accompanied such celebrations. Amidst the idol worship, I continued to be devoted to the things of God.

I later moved to the United States in the hopes of building a better life for myself. I married a wonderful God- fearing man, and together we have two children- Zemmie and Jesse. My journey as a believer in Christ began in March 1991 when I visited church with a friend. During the service, I felt the Lord tug on my heart and I could not ignore His call any longer. I received Jesus into my heart and continue to live for Him till this day.

My passions are many- teaching young adults, showing love and compassion to all, preaching the Word to the lost, serving my family and being involved in the upbringing of children. I will elaborate on a few.  First, I have a desire to see marriages succeed. In line with this desire, I mentor the young adults at our church.
Second, I serve in the children’s department and teach our new membership course to regular attenders who wish to become members of our Church. In the Children’s department, I contribute to the development of the curriculum, plan fun activities for the kids and participate in the kids’ routine.
Most important is the role I play as a wife and mother in my family. I believe this is the first responsibility that Lord has entrusted to my hands, and I fulfill it with joy. I am a co-laborer with my husband. I understand that as his close confidante and best friend, I can be a tool used to frustrate his work. Thus, I exercise due vigilance by praying and feeding on the Word of God so that I may be a blessing to the Lord’s work. As a mother, I do my best to instill the fear of God in my children and love them unconditionally.
