Ordained Minister in Frankfort, Illinois

After experiencing significant struggles in my past and finding salvation, I felt compelled to help others navigate their own challenges. Through online ordination, I am able to extend my ministry—mentoring, counseling, and sharing the Word of God—with credibility and reach. This allows me to guide individuals toward healing, spiritual growth, and a personal relationship with Jesus while living out my mission to do what is right and lead others in faith and integrity.
