Ministry history: 1980 – 1986 I traveled with my husband and children in music ministry. 1985 I attended a worship symposium and was launched into dance ministry. Early to mid 1990’s I traveled during the summer with my husband and children introducing dance ministry to various churches. 1991 – 1998 I choreographed the March for Jesus. 1998 I came to Smyrna Assembly and launched Praise In Motion shortly thereafter and continue to serve in that capacity at Springhouse Worship and Arts Center.
