II Timothy 3 tells us that in the last days, perilous times will come and many will be deceived. We see that being played out in the political arena. Dana carries a powerful message on the role the local church plays in today’s world.

“Your vote is your seed, yet many of us don’t understand the importance of that seed. In ignorance, they either don’t plant the seed or plant it in rocky ground.”  When planted in wrong soil, the seed will grow into a government that oppresses Christianity. The church is to be the restraining force upon the earth. Continued ignorance will cost the Body of Christ the freedom we take for granted that allows us to preach the gospel without limits.

She continued on her own, falling in love with God and stumbling into his presence where she became more aware of him than anyone else around her.

It wasn’t until years later that she learned that the Secret place in God is always available. In the early 90’s that God provided a prayer mentor that taught Judy how to enter God’s presence whenever her heart desired. At times, the presence of God was so strong that she lingered in the presence of God for hours, days one time for a week. On one occasion, Judy went directly to work after prayer. Her boss asked her what the light was that was coming out of her eyes. She learned through experience that the secret to flowing in the Gifts of the Spirit was to develop them in the private place of prayer.

To become an effective minister, Judy studied clowning and storytelling.  Using the power of storytelling, Judy has ministered in many settings from children’s camps, christian schools, women’s and family services.
