In college, she fellowshipped with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and attended IVCF’s Urbana Missionary Conference at the University of Illinois in 1967, 1970, and 1973. While teaching, she sponsored IVCF groups and taught the Bible.

After several years of teaching public school and college in New Brunswick, she graduated from Christ for the Nations Institute (1976) and summa cum laude from Southwestern Assemblies of God University (1987) in Northeast Texas. She earned two M.A.s with honors from the Oral Roberts University Graduate School of Theology and Missions, one in Historical/Theological Studies with emphasis in Pentecostal/Charismatic Studies (1989); the other, in Biblical Studies (1994). She did a year of post-graduate studies at the Center for Advanced Theological Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary (1994-95) and has an earned Doctor of Ministry degree from the School of Divinity at Regent University (2000).

She is a prolific writer and published author. Some of her works include: Where Are My Susannas?, 10 Things Jesus Taught about Women, and Who’s the Boss? Her book, In the Spirit We’re Equal (Second Edition) is a groundbreaking volume based on her doctoral dissertation from Regent University. It presents a thorough and compelling Biblical argument for the equality of women in the church and in marriage. She shows how Jesus treated women, answers the hard questions about Paul, and shows how the Church went astray as a result of being influenced by pagan philosophy that demeaned women. She also contributed “Women in Ministry” to the Encyclopedia of Christian Civilization published by Blackwell (Oxford and Boston) in 2008 and to the Revival Bible edited by Winkey Pratney.

She was also commissioned by Thomas Nelson Publishers to write the chapter “Spirit-Filled Women” in their benchmark publication, The Century of the Holy Spirit, edited by Dr. Vinson Synan, preeminent Pentecostal/Charismatic historian and Dean Emeritus of Regent University School of Divinity. And at the invitation of the French Community of the Belgium Government, she represented Pentecostal-Charismatic women of North America at the Women in Religion Colloquium in Brussels (2001).

She is the president of God’s Word to Women, Inc (http://godswordtowomen.org) and the founding coordinator of the Int’l Christian Women’s Hall of Fame & History Project (www.icwhp.org), a multifaceted undertaking that equips women to be change agents in society and the Christian community by honoring women of the past and present, and by providing interactive education, strategic resources, significant relationships, leadership training, and ministry opportunities.
