Through her preaching and her genuine love for the Lord the ministry grew. As she would play the organ or piano under the anointing, she was able to touch hearts and reach people. The Lord gave her a great resposibility in ministry and Sisters Reaching Sisters was birthed and later became Sisters Reaching Out to Sisters.
