2006 to present:  Chaplain Fellowship Ministries International.  As a Certified Chaplain her mission is to recruit more dedicated volunteers and candidates for the chaplaincy. Her personal philosophy of community outreach ministry is a topic that she can converse on for hours.  In her opinion this means that a person who is motivated to take these initiatives will love God with all their heart.  They will have to be compassionate and very diverse.  The person will have to be cultural sensitive and process the ability to be empathetic and sympathetic towards others regardless of race, religion or economic status.  The person will have to process a character and nature that is charismatic which would allow others in need to seek their presence because being around them will be a welcoming comfort and contentment.

 

She strongly believe that when a person processes these qualities and a nature to help others in the community without compensation, then this person is doing a good deed of outreach and community service.  Society will benefit tremendously and appreciate the fact that there are people who have a special connection in the community and they have a desire to make the community a better place.  She feels that outreach ministry is an outstanding way to give back to the community and at the same time help people and organizations that are less fortunate.

 

Furthermore, she states that outreach ministry to her are having a vision to provide love and care to people in need.  It is concentrating on a mission to serve others who are in need.  It is having a purpose in the lives of people in need.  It is also being reliable and trustworthy because many people will be depending on you to help them embrace God in their time of need.  Community outreach workers should be destined to make significant contributions in crafting a superior society.
