became a passion in her life after she couldn’t continue on as a hair stylist due to

chemical allergies. Ann loves the fact that she can serve God through Christian

Leaders Institute. Her favorite bible passage is Psalm 23

“1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet

3 He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for

you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head

with oil; my cup overflows. 

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the

house of the LORD forever.”
