About House of Praise International Church         Jerry and I are called to unveil the beauty of our Savior, Jesus Christ and proclaim His finished work of the Cross.  We believe the church is the place for believers to go and receive life-giving words and to be built up in Christ  and His great love for them.  We are committed to feeding Jesus' flock the Bread of Life...the awesome truths of God's abundance of grace.  In addition to the church, House of Praise Ministries International holds conferences and various events across the nation as the Lord leads.  In August of 2010, Pastor Cyndi began a weekly radio program called Extraordinary Grace which can be heard Sunday nights at 11 pm on FM 100.7 KWRD or on line at www.thewordfm.com.      We see miracles, signs and wonders in our ministry as the Holy Spirit bears witness to the Word of God's grace. The Lord has broken addictions, wiped out cancer, diabetes, tumors, lumps and chronic pain as well as canceled financial debt before our very eyes!  We give Him all the praise!      About our Family      By the Grace of God, we have been married for 17 years!  Jerry is a beautiful man of God with a very gentle spirit, great character and integrity.  He is the priest of our home and ministry in the truest sense, submitting us to the one true King.  He is key in this ministry and I am extremely thankful to the Lord for giving him to me!  He worships on his bass guitar as well as heads up our internet ministry.  He is filled with the Holy Spirit and moves in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit.        We have been in full time ministry since 2000 when the Lord opened the door to us to help pioneer a church and I was asked to head up the worship ministry.  It began with me on the keyboard and Jerry on the bass guitar, but by the power of God's grace, I added 5 to 6 singers as well as more instruments.  I held regular rehearsals, directing the band and vocals, leading worship every week.  That was such an awesome experience for which I will always be very thankful!      A few years later the Lord called me to pastor (Cyndi) which was somewhat of a surprise...sort of.  I am extremely happy and thankful to serve in the capacity of shepherd.  The Lord has been adding to the flock ever since and it has been an honor to be one of the Great Shepherd's undershepherds!  We are filled with the Holy Spirit and we experience all the gifts of the Spirit in our services!  All glory to God!  My credentials as pastor, evangelist and teacher are through World Ministry Fellowship. http://worldministry.com/.       We have three children (as seen below) and they are all such blessings as they each have unique giftings and anointings.  Matt (left) is 27 and helps lead worship on the keyboard and vocals.   He has a passionate heart for worship and is an extremely talented musical composer with the goal of writing music scores for film.      Cody (right) is 25 and serves in the ministry in various areas including outreach and internet.  He also loves to minister to children and feels called to the ministry in some capacity.  He is an extremely gifted actor with a degree in theatre.  His goal, no matter where he is, is to share the love and grace of Jesus Christ.      Our youngest is our daughter Morgan who is 12. She is crazy about her brothers and loves to be with them!  She helps in various areas including helping to lead worship on the praise team.        My mother Caroline lives close by and is an integral part of our lives and ministry.  She is a tremendous support in so many areas, namely prayer, counsel graphic design.  She designs and provides all of the ministry's printed materials and event decor.  Her presence and support mean the world to us!      I'd like to honor to my dad who was promoted to his heavenly home in February of '08.  We sure miss him...it is definitely our loss but certainly heaven's great gain.  He was an amazing support in the ministry by his mere presence alone.  His smile lit up any room and he always had a word of encouragement!  We are so happy in our hope of glory, knowing we will get to see him again.      Though not connected to New Creation Church in the nation of Singapore, our statement of faith and beliefs mirror this great church across the globe. http://www.newcreation.org.sg/      May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord!
