Her first church grew from 15 to 50 people. Snake River Church was the start of her ministry as Pastor Faith.

Her current church is immigrant friendly. They now have people from Ethiopia as well as a growing Hispanic congregation.

Faith and her husband are both worship leaders and they love the people and they want them to follow Jesus.

They haven't seen that Paul is dealing with the second of his own three sins and with those who committed similar sins. This is chapter 3 of the book Back to Eden on 1 Timothy 2-3 by Bruce C. E. Fleming. Learn why Paul writes about persecutors and wants all to come to knowledge of the savior! See how these verses lead up to his command to retrain and restore women overseers to active ministry again.
