Hear my story
In this interview with Dr. Randy Clark, founder of Global Awakening, I share part of my journey—how God called me into ministry, my heart for the church, and the story behind my book John Wimber: His Life and Ministry. While my passion today is to call the church into God’s glory with healing, signs, and wonders, this conversation offers a glimpse into the foundations of my life and ministry. I pray it encourages you in your own walk with the Lord.
My Life Message
My life message is simple: That they may know He is God — encountering His glory through signs, wonders, miracles, and the transforming power of His love. I long for every believer to experience not only the weight of His presence but also the revelation of His love that awakens a deeper knowing of Him.
From this place of intimacy, I carry the fire of His presence and pass it on to the next generation, equipping leaders and believers to walk in His Spirit and reveal His glory in their own lives and ministries. My passion is to see the church rise up in power and tenderness, carrying God’s presence into every sphere of life until His glory fills the earth.

Meet Bruce,
my wonderful husband
I am deeply grateful for my husband, Bruce, who has stood faithfully by my side for more than 35+ years of marriage. Together, we have raised two sons and are blessed with six grandchildren who bring us great joy. A graduate of Evangel College in Springfield, Missouri, Bruce also holds a Master’s degree in Intercultural Studies from Asia Pacific Theological Seminary in the Philippines. He is a godly man whose strength, humility, and kindness have been a steady covering for me in every season of ministry. Few men could so graciously support a strong wife in the public eye, yet he has done so with courage and love. Bruce is my encourager, my protector, and my best friend, and I thank God daily for the gift of his life and partnership.
