Evangelist, motivational speaker and women's advocate

Cynthia is a dynamic speaker and gifted singer with a passion for promoting the Kingdom of God and for helping people realize their full potential in the life God created for them. She has been in music most of her life and served as Praise and Worship leader at All Souls Church and lead singer for Berakah. The power of the Holy Spirit and the anointing of God on her life are evident when she sings and prays.

Because of her willingness to serve, God has opened many doors for her in ministry. With humble beginnings in AID’s ministry which was born from the death of her brother, Kelly, she began ministering to inmates with AID’s. This ministry grew into leading church services once a month in a Raiford prison, where she preached and sang to inmates. She began a bible study and correspondence ministry for inmates that grew into a network of over 3,000 inmates in 9 Florida prisons. “The need is so great in our prison’s. Men and women are so hungry for the Word of God. They long for a better life and a chance to make a new start. There is a vast difference between punishment and rehabilitation. We cannot just throw human beings away. We have to be willing to love them back to life. God has not abandoned the nearly 2 million inmates in this country and neither should we,” says Cynthia.

God has been leading her into women’s ministry over the past few years and she has spoken to many women’s groups both Christian and secular, delivering a message of hope and inspiration to women of all ages. Her retreats and seminars have tapped into a great need among women to know their purpose, and to conquer issues, such as, fear, low self-esteem, abuse, identity challenges and feelings of worthlessness. “God has shown me the great need that exists for women to know the great and unending love that He has for His daughters. In the course of one day, we have seen women transform right before our eyes by the magnificent and transcending love of God. Relationships are healed, value is restored and their feet are set upon a new path in the fullness of God’s design for our lives,” says Cynthia.

She believes strongly that we all are here for a very distinctive purpose and no one should
miss the opportunities that God planned specifically for them to fulfill. “We are all mirrored
reflections of the beautiful face of God. We need only to open our eyes and see who we are in Him.”
