Choir Member from 1998-2002
Served as Bass Section Leader
Favorite Song - There's so Many (He's Holy, Lilly in the Valley, Jesus Precious King, Anyway You Bless Me,etc.)
Favorite Memory - Texas Tour 1999. We sang at Brentwood Baptist Church (I believe) in Houston Texas. The Pastor was out of town and he allowed us to minster during his preaching time. After we ministered, and the altar call was given, there were literally 40-50 young people who came and gave their lives to Christ. It showed me that our ministry truly preached the gospel in song.
I am currently an 8th grade mathematics teacher and also Youth Pastor at the New Life International Family Church

Favorite Song - "Lily in the Valley" and "Standing on the Promises"
Favorite Memory - Every single tour was amazing! My first one was to California and it was such a blessed trip...even our bus driver gave his life to Christ. And the Chicago & Detroit tour- cold, cold and did I say cold...lol. Next the Texas tour which was the bomb! (Not just b/c I was the business manager and planned it...but just because we had a fantastic time and many lives were touched and changed!) AND we could never forget all of the New Life Socials, the engagement carpools, and endless Exec. Board meetings....But al in all New life has blessed me tremendously and I am forever grateful for this ministry!

Choir Member from 1997-2000
Served as Treasurer
Favorite Song - "Take Over Lord"
Favorite Memory - My favorite memory of New Life was the Spring Tour to Chicago and Detroit. It was my first year in the choir and I had no idea what to expect. We went to Chicago first and did not recieve the warmest welcome from the churchs or organizations that we were visiting. Everyone was feeling that it may have been a bad decision to go, but Jeronn insisted that there was a purpose and we moved on to Detroit. In Detroit, we realized just how awesome God's covering was on that Tour. It was as every placed we stepped was a holy place, consecrated by the Savior. It was an amazing difference between the two cities, but God proved that He is always in control!
After graduating from Spelman in 2001, I went on to Northwestern University in Chicago to pursue a Masters degree in Education and Social Policy, graduating in August 2002. We moved to Charlottesville, VA where my husband, Maurice, pursued an MBA at the Darden School at UVA. I am happy to say that we are now back in the Atlanta area. We live in Lithia Springs and I am the Associate Director at Aid to Children of Imprisoned Mothers, Inc., a local non-profit (located in the West End). We have two beautiful chiIdren -- Kayli Joy, born on July 08, 2004 and Elijah Maurice, born on December 09, 2005. We have found a wonderful church home at Word of Faith Family Worship Center where Dr. Dale C. Bronner is our pastor.

Choir Member from 1998-2000
Favorite Song - "Revive Us"
Favorite Memory - My favorite memory of the choir was the Texas tour of Spring 1999. The event that sticks out to me the most was a Sunday when we sang at a church in Houston. I believe it was called Brentwood Baptist Church. The reason that that particular performance sticks out to me is because we had such an influence on the youth of that church. We probably sang over 5 songs and when the pastor called for people to come and give their lives to christ, just about everybody that came to the alter were kids. Young kids and teenagers. I looked into the crowd and there were parents all over the congregation in tears because they were so prowd to see their children give their lives to christ. I've always felt that being that we were all young ourselves, we had a strong influence on the kids of that church, and that moment had a strong influence on me and it's touched me 'til this day. I'll never forget that feeling. Rehearsals were powerful.
Right now I am a manager at a Chili's in the suburbs of Atlanta. I eventually plan to pursue a career in Real Estate.

Favorite Song - "He's Holy"
Favorite Memory - My fondest memory was Spring Tour 2001. It was my freshman year and I really didn't know many people in the choir. Everyone showed me so much love and I really bonded with my "tour roomates", as well as many other people.
I am still enrolled at Spelman College with plans to graduate in 2005. I am currently working a full-time job that is keeping me from being in the choir.

Choir Member from 2001-2003
Favorite Song - "Great Is The Lord, Awesome God, God Wants A Yes"
Favorite Memory - My fondest choir memory would definitely have to be the Tuesday night rehearsals. Never before have I been a part of any young choir ministry where the annointing has fallen so heavy upon God's young people during a rehearsal. I am very grateful to have been a part of the NLIGC ministry during my college years. This ministry has sustained me and inspired me not to give up during those extremely rough times. Thank You Pastor Jeronn Williams for all your teachings,pastoring, and words of encouragement. Thank you NLIGC family for all the good times.Continue to stay on fire for Jesus. My Prayer for you all is that you be stedfast,unmoveable,always abounding in the work of the Lord forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain. God Bless!
Well upon graduation from Clark Atlanta University in May 2004, I have moved back to my home town Brooklyn, NY. I am currently working for Delta Airlines. I am still on fire for Jesus attending Pleasant Grove Tabernacle where Bishop Albert L. Jamison is the pastor.

Favorite Song - "Awesome God"
Favorite Memory - I don't believe I can name any of them because I don't want to blow anyone's spot up, but I will say that I will always remember the fact that I had never experienced the manifest presence of God in a rehearsal before joining this choir. To function under such a powerful anointing week after week is very humbling. I am so grateful to have been a part of this historic ministry for three years and when I get established, I will sow heavily into this ministry.
I am at Georgia Tech finishing up my last year of the Dual-Degree Program. The AUC Drama Ministry play and the AUC Christian Afterparty is definitely something interesting that just happened. We've taken over the AUC in the name of Jesus!!!
