She leads her clergy and laypeople on a volunteer basis. Her church’s ministries include an orphanage and young mother’s ministry in Kenya, as well as an LGBTQIA advocacy group based in Kenya, Africa, that helps the community in countries where homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment and death.
