encouragement, time, and unconditional love. Her ministry is that of evangelism
and she has a pastoral call on her life. She is a motivational speaker to
women and children of all ages and ethnic groups. She enjoys preaching and
teaching outside of the customary walls of the church and going to wherever
the people gather. She has ministered in areas of children's nursery, teen
groups, local women groups, the women's prison, as a church greeter, and
in leadership. Karen's mission in life is to be part of the bridge for men

as victims, to living their lives as victors!

a call on her life. Being disillusion, with the churches that she went to,
including the Muslim religion, she wandered from church to church. Her true
walk with the Lord began when she and her family, began to attend Kenneth

to her heart beginning to break down barriers and strongholds. God is an

Cathy A. Daniels is a safety inspector for a private Nevada construction company. She is a divorced mother of two sons and a daughter. Although she was not raised up in a church, God has always tugged at her heart. Around eight years of age, Cathy would walk by herself to the neighborhood church at night and listen to the minister talk about God. Not much older than eight she would catch rides with friends to their father's church to hear the word of God. As a young adult, Cathy joined the United States Air Force and served her country for twenty-two years and eleven months. While in the Air Force, it became clear that all of God's tugging paid off. She accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior while stationed at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. After developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, she truly knows that accepting Jesus is the best thing that happened to her. In her years in the Air Force, Cathy was assigned to seven military bases and traveled to eight different countries and still served God regardless of her locations, situations or circumstances. During the past three years, she has ministered in the areas of Women of Excellence Living a Leadership Life Ministry (WELLL), Community Evangelist Outreach Ministry, Greeters Ministry, and Chariot Connection Ministry. God is her choice.

Chere L. Howard, born and
raised in the Midwest, surrendered her life to the Lord on Easter of 1963.
After joining the military she left her intimate connection with the Lord
and during these years she experienced intense depression, multiple suicide
attempts, and aggressive behaviors when relationships turned bad. It was
during this time that she realized that she had separated herself from the
one person that loved her in spite of herself, so in 1995 she re-dedicated
her life to God. In God’s perfect wisdom, he anointed Chere Howard
with gifts and talents that she has now chosen to utilize. Although depression,
suicide, murder, and illness continue to attack her mind and her body, she
has chosen to live her life as one more example of a “WELLL WOMAN”.
Chere Howard has now ministered as an administrative assistant, choir member,
greeter, deaconess, and as a teacher to youth, teens, and women in the community
as well as in the prison.
