Every once in a while, I have a conversation with someone who says, "I wish I could do what you're doing. I would love to travel and speak at churches, share my music or write a book"."  The part that is painstaking is when I have to tell them that they can't . . .  because they don't know the sacrifices and what culminated to bring me to this place.  No two journeys are alike but God has a specific purpose and plan for each of us. The beautiful part is that we can relate to one another in so many ways.  So, I packed some lessons learned in the Word of God from my journey, into a two-part devotional.  I pray it brings insight and encouragement for your personal journey.  

When you write your first book there's so much to learn.  All Laurie knew is that she had to write the story on paper.  The original has been revised with several new chapters, more detail and insight that completes a full picture of the journey. 

Laurie unlocks faith principles that were like supernatural mysteries and walks the reader through some valuable lessons that led up to the pivoting moment when she received a miraculous healing from the Lord, free from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue and Depression..

On August 13, (2022) we filmed the scenes for the Passion Project.  Justin Baker plays the role of Jesus. Dena Baker (wife-pictured left) also is involved in the video as well. Her make-up skills for the crucifixion scene were also amazing.  Several others joined the cast, and filming lasted from 1 pm to 8 pm that day.  The day was perfect for filming and editing now begins.  The short-film/music video features a new song, yet unreleased, written and performed by Laurie entitled, "Come to the Cross".  The production is expected to eventually be translated into a number of different languages and used as an evangelism tool to share the Gospel.  A release date will be announced late 2022.. closer to the completion of the project.

Laurie was a guest on GMI hub (Youtube).  She gave a profound message about 3 ways to invest in your calling.  Especially for those who are called to minister through the arts, however, no matter how God has called you to serve, these are three principles that you can't ignore.  

We are in the beginning stages to prepare for the filming of The Passion Project.  

Her show Grace Talk was put on hold during this season of recovery but editing and production will begin soon so that the first season will be airing in August 2022.

June 5/22 - A new compilation of Laurie's music released over the last 22 years is available for digital download. Just click the Music Link to find it there.

Ronald Kezimbira Kyobe, Director of The Ushindi Africa Children’s Choir and Foundation was in contact with the ministry, asking permission to record Laurie’s song, Healing Waters Flow.  She was expected to join them on tour in 2020. The tour has been postponed until the pandemic is over, but the recording is expected to go forward.  Please keep them in prayer as they press forward with God’s calling for the Ushindi Africa Children’s Choir. 

The Blessing Fund ( a department of this ministry) has been able to help a number of people that have had special needs in difficult circumstances.  Although we don’t talk about it much, this is a division of the ministry that we have been doing for more than 2 years now. We have an opportunity to reach individuals and minister the love of Jesus. It’s been such a blessing to be a blessing, and we are so grateful for our partners with The Blessing Fund.

Among a number of needs, we were able to help an elderly lady afford the proper shoes she needed. Her ankles had collapsed and she could no longer walk any more than a few steps with pain.   I went with her to her appointment when her specially fitted pair of custom orthotics were ready for her.  The first time she slipped her feet into her new Summer sandals, she stood up and began to cry with joy and relief.  She said it was the first time she hadn’t felt any pain standing up in such a long time. You can see the difference between the two pictures.
