Teressa was raised to love and have compassion for others but truly didn’t understand the depths of love until she understood the heavenly fathers love for her. Through this love, she was able to build an intimate relationship with God as her father. Since her parents were deceased, God has truly been her main source and strength. Teressa’s favorite bible verse is Trust in the Lord with all your heart and leans not on your own understanding PROV3:5
Teressa freely shares her testimony not to air her dirty laundry as some in the world may say but to let anyone in a similar situation know there is hope and you too can be healed and delivered.

She ministers and mentors monthly at the Carriage Town Ministry for Homeless Woman and Children in Flint, MI where she donates and sponsors from the Gift of Treasure Ministry and Praying Wives Worldwide.
She realized there was a major issue in the Genesee County. There was not real support for new entrepreneurs nor good paying jobs for women coming out of a domestic violence situation or homelessness. She knew God wanted her to do something in the land, and so she Created the G.E.O. (GOT Entrepreneurs Organization) that brings business owners together to help sponsor new start up entrepreneurs, especially for woman starting over.
Her passion is to empower and encourage those with a vision to bring their ideas into reality and what it takes to maintain. Her goal is to provide entrepreneurship, jobs and housing for women to establish the ability to make a fresh start and provide stability for them and their children. This will give them the opportunity, knowledge and the understanding of the gifts on the inside of them and how to bring forth the treasure out of them. She believes this will allow them to change their environment, community and the world.
