    Hello, I am Miss E (short for Elena), I grew up Southern Baptist my entire life, I did not decide to follow Jesus until I was 19 years old, I am now 26.

    I attend Liberty University Online and am pursing my bachelor's degree in Evangelism. I want to become a missionary for the International Mission Board. I would also like to start my own ministry that focuses on Street Evangelism.

    I currently work at a prison as a Deputy Warden of Operations secretary. I love where I work, I plan to stay here until I finish my degree (hopefully by summer of 2021)

    I love to learn about the Bible, debate, read and learn. I love to witness to people and I consider myself an 'on fire' Christ follower. I believe wholeheartedly that God chose me to do great things, and that he couldn't have picked a more broken person. I suffer from Manic Depression and I have been in a psyche ward, I have run away, I have cursed God and my parents, I have felt attraction to women, I have been many things, and sin ruled my life once but now I live for God and I give Him all the glory and honor in whatever I do (which in reality, it is what HE does through me and not me)

    Glad to be here.

    So Glad to have you.

    Interesting where you work at. I have a friend - who is working on a ministry, where he will go to the prisons, and then seek to ministers with the realitivies of the inmates.

    Welcome!!!!!
    My wife also ministers at our local women's prison, but has been inactive for several months now due to covid.
    Not sure, but it seems that the "wheels" there are not totally on board with this ministry, so at this point it's up in the air whether it will ever resume or no!!
    Again, WELCOME!!!!!!
