As an Overseer, it is my obligation to do as Acts 20:28 says “Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.”I have been under the tutelage of Dr. Ella Crawford for the past 20 years. I received a license to the office of Evangelism in 2003, and later ordained as an Elder of the Ministry in 2008. In 2012, I was ordained by the Apostolic Alliance board as Overseer. Since 2012, I have had the extreme privilege to assist Dr. Ella Crawford in moving the vision of New Birth Ministry forward. Over the past 20 years, other administrative duties that the Holy Spirit has blessed me to be able to serve in ministry are Church Administrator, Food Bank Ministry Director, Outreach Project Management, and Event Planning.I wholeheartedly enjoy witnessing new souls coming to Christ and being a part of their development and spiritual growth.
