Journey with God/ Visions and Aspirations:
As a Catholic by birth, I had always yearned to be closer to God than just going to Church on Sundays, I had to join the Charismatic group and joined in most of the community work and evangelism.
I had my alter call and received Christ as my Lord and personal Savior, had my water Baptism with my husband in July 2007; my birth month.
My first challenge before marriage was I and my husband being AS, we faced our family battles of how wrong it was to marry and give birth to Sickle Cell, we were able to overcome because of our Faith in God, now we celebrate God because none of our three girls is SS.
My Faith had gone through a lot, married to someone from another tribe had its own challenge learning the language and culture, but God saw me through it all.
As we became workers in the RCCG Ministry, my faith was tried in many ways because I was posted twice to open a parish in remote community, it was not easy to deal with Locals but we always came out with Testimonies and my husband always had the opportunity to write the family songs in those Parishes. Five Years ago, my husband sowed half a plot of land to God for the construction of a Church Building, months later, God gave us 90 hectares of forested woodland for a real estate project conceived by my husband. And I thank God that I consented to his giving the half plot 5 years ago.
As a Christian, I am striving to contribute my quota in putting smiles on peoples’ faces, sharing Gods wonderful works and love through my life challenges and telling them that God speaks more to us during trial periods.
In the past six years, I have been working on a Christian Reality TV project tagged ‘Wilderness’ The Journey. The project is set to offer tuition in Christian Norms and values whilst offering Family entertainment to viewers of all class, race and age. Again, God has been Mighty in notching the project contents and I have FAITH He is putting together good Spirited people who will work with me in achieving this great Vision. The project awaits sponsorship in other to gain international recognition, replacing the junks that we watch on TV these days.

I believe that knowing God is the best thing that has happened to me for His love endures forever. Amen
Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm. 37:4.
Aspirations: I have a cherished desire and yearning to be able to impart and contribute to the change in the lives of the street children I discovered in my community during one of the Laughing Women feeding programs, it has become a heavy burden and I trust the Lord will grant me that fulfillment.
Challenge :
CATEGORY 2 PRAISE/WORSHIP GOD
CATEGORY 4 ENCOURAGE SOMEONE.
CATEGORY 5 FEED THE HUNGRY,
CATEGORY 8 BLESS SOMEONE
I have list of Testimonies from each laughing women challenge, although each has it’s own challenges, but just like the any other challenge, it always end up in Glory, victory at All times and I thank God for the journey so far.
I have those that volunteer in any Laughing women program though they’re not as committed as I expected, I realize everyone has different levels of passion to hold on.
I hope by the Power of the Holy Spirit to continue the Kingdom work with Laughing Women using their platform to laugh in the Lord and make sure all that sees the goodness of God laughs with me. Gen. 21:6.
