Having a heart of servitude and a standard of excellence is embedded in Minister Phyllis’s life. In addition to being a servant of God and a student of the Word, she allows her faith to be extended to the professional and community arena. Her call to serve those who think that they have to suffer in silence is one of passion, empathy, love and a desire to see women overcome adversity through the word of God and His practical application. She is committed to helping those who are struggling with adversity in their family setting and do not see a way out. Her books Daddy’s Little Girl & Mommy’s Dreaded Seed and The Suicide Survivor evolved out of a life that was consumed with pain, abuse and the murder of her father, to a life of an overcomer through Christ who restored her to wholeness and gave her beauty for ashes.

 

Minister Phyllis also had a “Feed the Hungry” ministry where she fed and clothed those who are living on the streets and in shelters in the Baltimore City area. She writes daily encouragements and uplifting blogs for her website “The Overcomers Network called “The Daily Lift”.
