Missions

“Pure religion undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their afflictions, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” James 1:27

My personal assignment has been to go to the nations and bring the Good News, especially to the precious children.  Following my time of bereavement, the celebration of Mother’s Day would take on a renewed importance, as I would begin to walk in the destiny of becoming a “Mother to the Nations”.  From the initial missionary trip that followed Patrice’s Heavenly departure, my team and I would go to Jamaica every year during Mother’s Day to minister and celebrate with the orphans living in impoverished orphanages of this third world country.  I believe that children are a “gift from God”, and that we should cherish these priceless gifts.

One orphanage in particular is the West Haven Handicapped Children’s Home in Jamaica, where most of the children have been neglected and abandoned. Some have been found at the dump, while others are discarded at the door of the orphanage, because parents do not want the responsibility of raising a “handicapped child”.  The children are always ecstatic to see us coming because they know that we are going to give them a great big birthday party.  We provide a full dinner along with a big delicious birthday cake and ice cream cones!  Some of the children are so severely handicapped that they are not able to feed themselves, and it gives us much pleasure and great honor to feed them.

Through the generous gifts and contributions of partners and supporters of this ministry as well as local vendors, we are also able to furnish them with necessities such as:  washers, dryers, soap, toilet paper, toothpaste, shampoo, toothbrushes, panties, diapers, clothes and we must not forget the toys.  We have puppet shows for them, and as we sing and dance, we let them play along with the tambourines, toy flutes and maracas provided by our ministry.  Though some may say, “They can’t even keep time.” I know this blessed concert is not only perfect timing to God’s ears as well as mine, but it is a symphony of praise that brings great delight to God.

There is no greater joy than seeing the smiles on their faces, knowing that this simple act of kindness can make such a difference in their lives.  By the expression of God’s perfect love towards them today in this desolate situation, there is a promise of hope in Jesus Christ.  These festive times may be the one single factor to help them find the strength and courage to face their tomorrow.

I kiss, hug, and pray for each child; only God knows the love I have for each and every one of them.  While we are here on earth, we are the hands and feet of Jesus.  I believe that the Lord is watching to see what we are going to do about these children.  Are we going to shut our eyes and pretend they don’t exist?  Or will we go visit them and extend love and mercy.  The choice is ours; I choose to let my hands and feet work for these precious gifts of God.  When our time is over, it saddens me bringing tears of despair to my eyes knowing that they may never receive the attention and love our team gives them during this time of celebration, until we come again.

In addition to our time spent in the orphanages of Jamaica, I have been invited to preach, make guest appearances on television, and minister to churches in the surrounding areas.

One of my most cherished mission trips occurred in Cali, Colombia, South America, where our team collaborated with Prophet Nathan Mercado and his ministry team.  During the days we would take groceries to the very impoverished people of that area.  Some of the homes had dirt floors, yet it was as though the people themselves were not even aware of their poverty.  Instead they were grateful, and did not take for granted anything that was given to them.  My heart was overflowing with great love and compassion and was most impressed about with their attitude of gratefulness.

In the evenings we would have crusades where people would come from all around to hear the Gospel being preached.  The meetings outgrew the large church initially provided for us, so we eventually started having open-air services.  As the reverberation of praise and worship filled the air with joy and expectation, I would gather all the children around me to dance until the music stopped.  It was important to me to impress on the children the “Joy” of serving the Lord.  Each night, as the dancing would finish, I knew I had accomplished my goal.  The children instinctively knew I had a great love for them.  They felt so loved and secure with me; that they would not go back to their seats.  As many as could, climbed upon my lap while the rest of the children sat on the ground all around me through out the services.  What a blessing they all were to me.

One particular day, the warm breezes alluded to the fragrance of native flowers and that coupled with a day full of sunshine, set the tone for a nearly perfect day.  Nathan sang and played his guitar in the streets, and people came from all directions to witnesses the glory of God.  We preached the word of God and many souls were won to Jesus Christ that day.  The little village had turned into a haven of faith as people received their miracles and healings.  Later on that same day there was another miracle waiting for us, as we prayed for a lady who had suffered from cancer and could hardly walk.

That evening after the preaching was over, our customary prayer lines began.  A lady came up for prayer who had a tumor on her breast.  As I prayed, she told me that she felt the fire of God go into her breast and she was totally healed.  The next day the same lady came with her son to receive a miracle for his ears.  He was totally healed, and it was a glorious time.
It was completely awesome to witness God’s miraculous power and His infinite love for these people.  Many that were demonized were delivered and set free during this mission trip as we ministered in signs and wonders.  I thank God for the blessed opportunity to serve the people of Cali, Colombia, South America.

Israel, the place of our Savior’s birth, death and resurrection, is my favorite place in the whole world.  When I am in Israel I feel that I am home.  The presence of God is so strong that you just never want to leave.  As an intercessor, you can only imagine that the Prayer Wall is one of my favorite places in Jerusalem.  People come from around the world to place their prayer requests in the wall.  Many like me truly believe that these prayer requests are answered. In fact I love this prototype so much; I have made a prayer wall in my own home.  As I teach people the importance of writing their vision, I take their prayer requests sent to our ministry and include them with my request. I then place them in my beautiful gold box located in my prayer wall to intercede on a daily basis.  Habakkuk 2:2 declares, “And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon the tables, that He may run that readeth it.”  I can truly say that anything I have written down has always come to fruition.

Another one of my favorite places to visit is at the Garden Tomb.  I will always remember when Patrice, my precious daughter and I were kneeling at the Garden Tomb.  It was there that the mighty presence of the Lord fell upon us.  We could not stop weeping as we felt the overwhelming love of God for us; in the garden was where Jesus prayed, and began to pay the ultimate price for our salvation.  No greater love than this; He shed His blood for our sins, and gave us a way to have eternal life.
The children in Israel are also so stunning with their beautiful dark hair and dark eyes.  Only God could have created such a beautiful people, and such beautiful sites.  I remember visiting an orphanage there and the children had such anticipation to see us.  The love is heart-felt between us all, and like a magnet, they come.

There are many more nations to visit, and I am committed to the Heavenly calling.  I know that through the loss of my own beautiful daughter, my destiny was to continue in the spirit of a true “Mother”, but now He would give me the Nations.  Jesus said in Matthew 11:25, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.”

Children from every nation, every tongue and tribe…

As a “Mother to the Nations”, I am committed to love them all, The Children are our future! –
The Children are the Leaders of the Next Generation!
