She has been sharing ministry in music since 1981 and as a speaker, sharing her testimony since 2002. She speaks from her own personal journey and testimony of emotional and physical healing to share powerful life-giving messages that have become a powerful tool to stir hearts in faith. Her book “Wings To Victory highlights the 13 years that Laurie suffered with Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia & Depression until a divine appointment and a prayer of faith, resulted in her miraculous supernatural healing in 2001. No doubt this journey has truly set her message & music apart today.

Laurie uses all of her gifts and passion from the platform to powerfully communicate a message that challenges the strong and lifts the weary. Sharing at Womens Events, Pro-life Events, Concerts, Festivals and Church Services, audiences are moved, as she is able to effectively reach people where ever they are in life.
Under the Lord’s leading and local church covering, Laurie and her husband Scott (married 1987) manage the ministry together. They reside in London Ontario, with their two boys living near by, along with two lovely daughter-in-laws and one grand child. The ministry is a department of ACT International/Canada and is a registered Government Charity in Canada and the United States. Financial and prayer support is so appreciated and enables this ministry to share the Gospel in various ways, through music/recordings, video/film media and ministry activities.
