Patti
has extensive ministry experience both in
music and speaking. Her songs have a rich
anointing and are grounded in the Word of
God. As a Pastors wife she is sensitive
to the unique needs of a congregation and the
practical challenges of ministry and
leadership. Her family background, marriage
of more than 30 years, combined with raising
her own children, gives her ample insights
when ministering on issues of the family. She
has spoken in churches, at marriage retreats,
womens conferences, and has taught
small groups and large crowds in the United
States as well as other countries.
Over
the years, Patti has spent countless hours
helping people with emotional and spiritual
needs. Her skill is enhanced by years
of work in the public school system helping
children with special needs. She has a
passionate desire to help women, children and
families find practical solutions to the
challenges of life. She has been used of God
to provide biblical counsel that has proven
of great assistance to those who are battling
some of lifes toughest problems.
Now
working as a Pastoral Care Assistant, at
North Shore Assembly of God in Malden,
Massachusetts, where her husband is pastor,
she has many opportunities to visit, teach,
preach and give spiritual counsel. She
has a growing concern for those caught up in
the fast pace of city life, daily robbed of
precious time with God, and even sinking into
depression. As a practical help,
Source of Strength was created to be a
devotional CD of music and Scripture that
could be used as a mobile
sanctuary for those who spend so much
time in Bostons rush hour
traffic. She believes it will help
people memorize and internalize Scriptural
truths as a source of strength against
depression.
Drawing
on 31 years of experience in ministry, she
has been able to address many subjects
pertaining to the Christian life.
Here
are a few subjects she has taught:
Prayer,
Spiritual Disciplines, the Work of the Holy
Spirit, Motivational Gifts, the Fruit of the
Spirit, Worship, Knowing Gods Will,
Godly Womanhood, Marriage, Parenting, Single
Parenting, Sexual Purity.
