Denise (Denny) Fischer: Secretary/ Treasurer/ Board member / Ministry Consulting Prophet

I accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior as a senior in high school. This was the first time I had heard the gospel. Then on Palm Sunday in 1969,   I rededicated my life to Jesus followed by the infilling of  the Holy Spirit which revolutionized my life.
 
Over the last 50 years, I spent 26 years  serving as a Pastors wife. I have served on 3 different church boards as Secretary of the Board. For 2 years, I was the Spiritual life
Counselor  for Women’s Aglow. In 1989 while working as a Home Health Aide, I won a scholarship through a Home Care Agency and in 1993 graduated with an Associates Degree  as a Registered Nurse. I developed a women’s conference called “Women With Losses”  which met at least once yearly. Each speaker was a women who had experienced a significant loss like the loss of a child, husband or battle with a terminal disease.
 
I have also been on  5 overseas mission trips where I had the opportunity to share my testimony of  how the Lord did an amazing work  in my life revealing how to navigate through the process of forgiveness.

Soon to be Ordained!
