JESSIE / WORSHIP DIRECTOR
JENNIFER / PROPHECY TEAM / PRAYER
Jennifer: growing up she battled with low self esteem and always compared by her twin sister and labeled as the bigger twin. Few months after graduating high school in 2006, she had a bad break up with her then boyfriend that abused her emotionally and mentally which only increased the low self esteem. That day, she rededicated her life back to Christ and felt His true love for the first time. A few months later in 2007, the Lord led her to start her season of singleness with Him which taught her the hearing and understanding voice of God, and true intimacy with Christ. As the years past, she knew God was leading her to learn more about the presence of God and using the gifts He has given her which included visions, dreams, and more. She now serves as part of our Prophecy Team here at The Way KC Revival Center. Her desire is to see others fall deeply in love with the Father, experiencing personal true intimacy with Christ, hearing and seeing the voice of God for themselves! She desires for the enemy's lies to be defeated in the lives of others, and instead they believe the truth of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Her Message: "It's okay to be single. Relationships exist so that we may learn how to have one with Him! He is more real than this life. He is our REALITY! You determine the closeness or level of intimacy that you have and experience with Him. Nothing else in this world matters, but you and Jesus! Let Him be the reason you live for today. He'll take care of the rest!"
