Testimony:

I was converted as a child and am a third generation member
of the Church of God in Christ maternally and a second generation member
paternally.  I was baptized with the Holy Ghost at age 18 during a revival at my
father's church.  I am the daughter of the late Rev. Alvin E. and Mrs. Ima Lee
Bailey.  I have three sisters and one brother (one brother, Alvin Jr., died in
March of 1999).

I am active in my local church where I have been a lifetime
member.  I was a teen Sunday School teacher, Adult Y.P.W.W. teacher, a choir
president and public relations officer.  I am active in this local church
whenever I return to the States.  I also still sing in the District Choir and
State meetings when in the country.  I am an Instructor and Member of the
Executive Board at the Institute of Teaching God's Word Theological Seminary,
Rockdale, Texas.

Vision/Purpose:

I have desired to go to Africa and work as a missionary
since I was a small child.  I was greatly influenced by a former member of our
local church, Missionary M.M. Jackson.  She was an active supporter of the
Missions Department of the Church of God in Christ and sent money and donations
to Missionary Lott, a pioneer missionary in Liberia (West African country).  In
May of 1998, I was privileged to be a part of a short-term missionary tour to
South Africa which was sponsored by some local churches in Central Texas.  I was
truly convicted during this visit that my childhood desires were inspired by
God.  In September of 2000, I returned to South Africa as a full-time
Missionary.  It is my vision/purpose to be a blessing there in ministry of the
word and in demonstration of the Holy Ghost.  Any support that can be sown into
this sponsorship would be greatly appreciated.  Please pray with me for the
success of my continued tours.

Testimony:

 I
was born to God fearing parents who taught in the things of God but as a
teenager I slowly started to drift away from God into atheism and planned

my life accordingly, but then ended in frustration.  To the extent of
attempting to commit suicide.  That was when the Lord revealed to me that
He was real and I need not die.  He wanted to give me His eternal life. 
I committed my life to Him and that was the turning point in my life.

Later I was baptized in the water and also He filled me with His Holy Spirit. 
I heard His audible voice calling me into full time ministry which I obeyed in
the

year 1977. 

After a
two year Biblical studies in England I came back to India and became an
Itinerant Evangelist, traveling almost to every state, preaching the Good News
of Jesus Christ and teaching the believers.  I did this type of ministry
till 1991.  And then the Lord gave me a burden for the young adults in the
Universities, especially those who are not from Christian backgrounds.  So
I started ministering in the Universities among the young adults who were doing
their M.Phil and Doctorates.  Also, those who did not have any Christian
church to attend.  My wife and I  brought them to one place to have
worship and also trained them up in Biblical Faith. 

This was
done till I fell sick almost to death (till the year 2000).  Now, I am
taking care of a small house church.

 

Ministry Vision:

I want
to reach out to as many as people possible,  until there is no more life in
in this body. My wife Grace and I want to be faithful to the Lord to the end.

To train Believers and Pastors to be effective witnesses for His Kingdom and
thus prepare the Bride of Christ for His return.  Also, to work with like
minded people of God in building His Kingdom.
