THE BEGINNING
The Call was undeniable in high school as she invited classmates to Bible study and Sunday service. Nekita began having Bible discussions and prayer with her friends at school. She even had a phone ministry— praying and ministering at night and sometimes throughout the morning before school.
BELOVED HOMELESS
James 2:15-17
Favored with a heart for the Homeless and those in need from her teenage years, she has served cheerfully for 33 years. There is so much to do in this community. Nekita encourages everyone to do what they can. For their dignity and respect, you will never see photos of them receiving meals, a drink or any assistance.
ABBA ~ TRANSFORMED LIVES
Ephesians 6:4 and Psalm 137:3
At the age of 18, she began a teen & young adult praise and worship team. It was then they learned and experienced ABBA, and they grew in their gifts.
Hebrews 10:23-24
Studying The Word and worshipping became a lifestyle for them. It was during this ministry that The Anointing was evident on their life. These teammates would later become her first high school Bible Study students in her early 20’s. They began Bible Studies and prayer groups in their high schools.
Nekita has always loved and taught children of all ages. Teaching her own children at home was life. A few years later she began teaching 6-9 year-old girls. Even at their young age, the Pastor asked these young girls to lead worship on Wednesday nights. How Amazing?!
PRAYER AND WORSHIP
The women began having prayer and worship meetings. Every woman leading in prayer or in song. They grew in faith, The Word and in service.
SEED IN THE GROUND
All of them are now adults and still serve in ministry.
