Her Leadership Philosophy is that Christian leaders, like Jesus, should come not to be served but to serve others according to Matthew 20:26 which states, “But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
