About
~~I was born and raised in Washington, DC and currently reside in nearby Maryland. As an offspring of two pastors, my entire childhood and into adult life was surrounded with spiritual guidance and family nurturing. At the age of nine, I received Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and by twelve was teaching Vacation Bible School, playing piano at church services and becoming an avid student of the Word of God. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Practical Ministry and Biblical Counseling, Master’s degree in Biblical Studies and Pastoral Ministries and Doctors degree in Theological Studies while being placed in several leadership roles in the church.
As a Health Systems Specialist heading the Department of Veterans Affairs patient satisfaction surveys, I began to develop my passion for writing. I published a series of pamphlets based on the Word of God that ministered to the readers. I also published my first book entitled “Women in the Pews” that pretty much portrays the many aspects of the struggles of gifted and talented women. This book was birth out of my own experiences.
A most important aspect of my life is family. I am blessed with a wonderful husband, two daughters, two son-in-laws and four God-fearing gifted grandchildren.

Story Behind The Book
In this season of great progress for women in the marketplace and the worship places, many remain bound by the traditional beliefs that hinder their gifts and calling. Women are making great strides in the secular world as leaders in highly visible corporate positions and even in the field of religion. For many years women have generally taken different paths in life and in their approach and prospective in leadership in almost every nation. By observation and experience, many of these same women and others sit idle in the pews of places of worship; they accept positions beneath their qualifications. These are women capable of functioning in not only subordinate positions, but leadership roles as well. Perhaps some gifts within women remain dormant due to continuing controversial issues confronting Christian women and women in general. Many are well qualified to take especially their places of worship to new levels in God's plan for His kingdom. God has given women powerful gifts to ignite, develop, release and share for His Glory.
Reviews
<p>Pat Lawson Muse, NBC4-TV, Washington, DC</p>
<p>"In the world we work for a paycheck; but in ministry, we must work to profit the kingdom. Pastor Jackie's book speaks directly from the heart of God to the heart of holy women. We can't afford to waste time with "busy" work. We have to get out of the pews and into a place where our work produces "eternal profit!" </p>

<p>Bishop Ralph L. Dennis, Presiding Prelate, Kingdom Fellowship Covenant Ministries, Towson, Maryland</p>
<p>"Jackie's book is a must read for both women in the pews and men who are sensitive to their callings and anointing. She speaks out of the depths of experience. I recommend it as individual or group reading to assist in creating strategies for emerging leaders." </p>
