Throughout my career,  I’ve had the privilege of serving in Community Health, working closely with our medical communities. During this time, I’ve encountered countless Veterans navigating significant health challenges. Much of my role involved listening attentively to their experiences and helping identify the most appropriate care solutions. Their war stories deeply moved me —their courage and loyalty to their mission was indeed inspiring and above all, their profound kindness always left a lasting impression on my heart.

As I engaged with more Veterans each day, it became increasingly clear that many were in need of meaningful opportunities to connect and create. In response, we launched an initiative in 2017 to highlight the therapeutic value of using our God-given gifts — a journey that has proven to be both inspiring and transforming.  We are deeply grateful to our gifted artists and community partners for their unwavering support and compassion in helping our Heroes heal from trauma and discover the joy in the gifts God gave them. (See our Veteran Testimonies)

In 2025, Our Lord began to call me to reshape our organization and to cultivate His Gifts of Ministry and begin a New Mission: Mission Nehemiah's Way. A  mission to heal and bring unity within the Body of Christ through praises and celebrating His Holy Days - His Biblical Festivals. I'm feeling blessed and eagerly anticipate witnessing the unfolding of the Lord’s plan in the years to come.  Shalom and May God bless you abundantly!
