establish a personal relationship with Him. Spiritual teachings and nurturing were provided in the

home, school, church, and even on the streets. Jacqueline attended the Church of God in Christ in

Chapelton, Jamaica, W.I., under the pastoral care of the late Elder Henry Morgan, Sr., where the

seed (the Word of God) was planted and watered through Sunday services, Sunday School,

conventions, and various Spirit-filled programs.

and please Him. She is enthusiastic about worshipping God and growing in revelation knowledge

Jesus Christ and glorifying Him.

The call: “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, whom shall I send and who will go for Us?

And I said, here am I, send me!” Isaiah 6:8.

The proclamation: “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to

bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that

captives will be released, and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn

that the time of the Lord’s favor has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their

enemies,” Isaiah 61:1-2.

To God be the Glory!
