lifestyle when the Gospel was shared with her by TVBSA associates.
She came to know Christ as Savior and Lord in 1993 and presently
directs an outreach to Jehovah's Witneses, Bethel Ministries (no
connection to Randy Watters' Free Minds, Inc.) in Knoxville, TN, and
is a member of the Lovell Heights Church of God there.
